What's the cheapest mini Pc that can run PureBasic programs?

Everything else that doesn't fall into one of the other PB categories.

I find that laptops are more expensive. Otherwise for desktop computers, I found cheaper ones, in addition they are portable if necessary.

Do you need connectivity?

I bought a cheap windows tablet ages ago. "Odys Wintab 8". It was like 80 or maybe 100 bucks. Terribly slow and the display is super bad (angles), but it's a normal windows 8 PC running an x86 Intel Chip. PB and any normal PB program runs fine (hardware permitting). It had a mini-HDMI, although the Adapter I bought off amazon didn't really work. No idea if the adapter was bad, or the output from the tablet.

My2 cents.
Purebasic 5.73 LTS runs also still fine on Windows XP 32bit...
Yeah I know, but keep in mind ... Leonardo da Vinci was also an autodidact.

I was looking for such things from Gigabyte:
https://www.gigabyte.com/Mini-PcBarebon ... 807-rev-10

They look powerful enough to run some basic user stuff like browsers and some kinds of games, etc, and for sure enough for PB.
Anyway didn't tried it yet so can't say anything.

Yes ^^ Unfortunately XP is not much applicable because lot of other software incompatibilities, now I'm only keeping it on virtual machine for some tests and Windows 7 is something like basic.
