[workstation] What to chose between small tours and mini pc

Hello all,

I just realized very recently that mini pc have become quite decent specs-wise.

Long story short, my sister wants a new pc for christmas. She won't play with it. She just wants something that doesn't lag when Word, VLC (2160p to 4k) and a 12 tabs chrome are running.

She'd like it robust enough for it to last close to 10 years so i thought something along the lines of :
- 32GB RAM
- 1TB NVMe SSD

everything can be done with a mini pc but CPU often don't look bright.

Could you point me in the direction of any mini pc that could check all the boxes for 500€ maximum or am i delusional ?

Thanks !
