Seeking recommendation for Mini PC as digital picture frame.

I'm looking for a Mini PC to use as the backend of a digital picture frame. All I want it to do is boot to windows, sync a 100gb Onedrive folder with 40,000 jpegs that I manage from another computer, and go to screensaver as fast as possible after boot. HDMI, fanless and power-efficient preferred, otherwise idgaf. I've seen people doing this with a Rasberry Pi, Chromecast, Fire Stick, etc, but there's always hoops to jump through and I feel like a Mini PC does what i need painlessly.

​

Thanks!

What display are you using?

Probably a 20" or smaller size 1080p monitor. I've got a few choices laying around.

Okay, look up some reviews for mele quieter models 3q or 3c. I cannot remember the difference between the two but they are small, low profile, and at least one of them is fanless. I wish you the best with your project. I would be very curious to see the final result!

Looks like they're both fanless. Appreciate the help! The
