This, was about to do this myself. ~$60-80 for a lenovo m720q on eBay with 256gb SSD, 8gb ram, 8th gen Intel i3 8100t or if you are lucky i5-8400t. Why would get anything else?
The ARM cpu will still beat out an i3/i5 in idle and load power consumption, and the mini PC also does not have GPIO for people who care about that kind of stuff.
Yup, I agree. But those aren't any of OP's requirements so not sure where you are going with this?
Also, ~5watt difference again not sure where you are going with this. x86 supports more OS and ram can also be increased if needed. In OP's requirements the winner is clear.
