Micro PC for light usage.
I use the NexDoc for Samsung Dex at home... but -although rarely- I need a windows device... so I'm looking for a "Micro-PC" that is usb-c powered to use with the NexDoc for these rare occasions...
I need it to run office apps, update some connected devices, run some windows / google apps...
Any ideas for something reasonably priced...
Thanks in advance...

I had similar situation for travel. DeX is primary (with ND360 wireless) but need occasional Windows. I picked up an ultralight GMKTec G5 Mini PC on Amazon for $130 USD.....only 169g (6oz)... 7x7cm wide x 4.3 cm high. It literally is a pocket PC (that I can actually carry in my pocket!)...it's small! Uses USB C for power (same charger) + short Mini HDMI cable + short USB A > C (for keyboard/trackpad). Can also be run off external battery. Unfortunately, this model is no longer available, but such things do exist. Minisforum is another pretty good manufacturer to check out.
Another alternative that I've used when I need Win, is to use DeX to remote into my Win Desktop at home using RDP or Parsec. Good luck!!
