The price seems pretty good. I don't really know much about mini PCs. Do you think there is a better alternative?

Update: ok, not price efficient. Noted ๐Ÿ‘

If the price is right for you, go for it. You will run containers and or VMs, so doesn't really matter what your bare metal is.

I would choose something where I can install Linux easily and nice and I am sure at the Mac mini price point you can build yourself an assembled mini-pc with beefer specs, but indeed it's more work and hassle.

YMMV
