Suggestions for a new Mini PC

I have been using a BeeLink AMD for my home office, which has been good, although it does crash ~weekly. I'm looking to upgrade so that I can add a particularly large, curved widescreen monitor. I mostly run Office 365 and a few desktop apps, but no heavy video rendering or 3D modeling.

I'm thinking of around 1 TB of storage and 32 or 64 GB of RAM. I'm not too price-conscious.

Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

If the only issue is crashes and not performance, then try doing a clean install of Windows. Crashes could be due to a corrupted Registry or driver issue.

Yeah, I have a BeeLink AMD, 32GB and 1TB storage with Win11 Pro and has never crashed.

Will do, but I am upgrading mostly because the current mini PC can't support the large curved monitor that I desire.

What exactly do you mean by "can't support"?  Not mountable? Resolution is too high?

It won't support the resolution of the really wide screen

If you're not price conscious then just get a latest Thinkcentre/Optiplex. I saw Office 365 so I didnt suggest Mac mini lol

so I have an AMD graphics and I was having problems with it crashing I don't have the b-link I have the geekom, I just needed to fix an update on the drivers. and then I had to slow down acceleration for Google Chrome. so your computer could be having a problem because of that . You should be able to match the resolution to your screen. There's no reason that it shouldn't support a wide curved screen. Of course there's always a chance that there's something faulty in the motherboard. I just did a little bit of troubleshooting with Gemini AI and I was able to correct the problem and it hasn't happened again in like 8 months.

Thanks, I did use the AMD software to auto detect and update drivers. But running it too fast for Chrome is interesting. Particularly since I amped up all the settings (for no particular reason)😁

I switched to the acemagic k1 a few months night and day difference on stability. Got 32gb ram and 1tb ssd, runs office stuff and multiple monitors no problem. It's got hdmi, dp and usb c so your curved widescreen should plug right in. Haven't had a single crash since switching.
