The mini-pc market for those HP machines is fairly in demand and you can get them very well priced.

They're fantastic as a low cost machine with decent specs that take up minimal room, they're also usually corporate devices in which there are plenty of drivers that work well out of the box.

I bought one to act as a home server and it works flawlessly running Proxmox, over the machine I built many years back which was slower and bigger.

I just think comparing the Raspberry Pi to these Mini-PC's is just a silly comparison to begin with.
