I'm looking to buy a cheap mini PC to run Home Assistant. I found lots on Amazon.es but I don't want to give them my money. Looking for something like a cheap โ‚ฌ200 n150 box. Any suggestions where I can buy this in Europe?

Digitec/Galaxus Sells pretty much all the tech stuff amazon does but is a swiss cooperative.

Switzerland is part of EEA/European Market, so no tarriffs.

I tried searching for n150 minipcs but there is just one on galaxus; probably geekom, beelink and acemagic just donโ€™t know about it

Btw Iโ€™d like a source for

swiss cooperative

To me it looks like a normal company but with big majority of shares held by a coop corporation (that it a corporation made of coops, so galaxus is more an asset of this corp not a full member)

Obviously all of this is still by far better than Amazon so Iโ€™ll try ordering from them when the stuff I need is available on it :)

I just knew it was owned by coop which I had been told by my economics teacher in high school was a cooperative (a long time ago!). You digged further than me!
