Notes
Mini PCs are ideal for cloud gaming: since the game runs on the server, local processing power is irrelevant. What matters is a stable network connection (Ethernet is best), a good display output, and silent operation. Even an entry-level mini PC handles cloud gaming perfectly. Look for models with Ethernet, HDMI 2.1, and enough RAM for a smooth browser or app experience.
