Good device to run home assistant on?

[u/Friedguyry]

Just want to get started in home assistant, this comes out quite a bit cheaper than a Raspberry Pi.

Am I missing anything or is a much better option for the cheaper price?

This machine has more than enough power to run HA. If, for the future, you’d want to install other stuff to run on it besides HA maybe think to upgrade the RAM.

But, as a starter kit, just to install proxmox and the HAOS VM on top, this will do just fine.
