A warning of the AK2 Plus because of the tiny heatsink inside will handicap its power draw and cooling. It is very difficult to find images inside the computer. The S12 Pro has a considerably larger fan and heatsink. If you have some patience, this can do those tasks well enough because they are low demand. These tasks are what the N100 processors are marketed for. (Assuming you're not trying to back up thousands of 8k images).
I like that you're shopping from a place offering 30 day returns.
There are certainly faster computers. Ace Magician AM06 Pro, AM07, and Trigkey S5 have processors with faster single thread speed for your google sheets and web browsing. The processors also have more cpu threads which can help significantly reducing back up download speeds and maintaining functionality during window updates. The realistic time saved with a faster processor probably will not be revolutionary but something to consider.
Used mini pc like the older HP Prodesk 705 G4 2400G and intel 8th gen processor mini pc from dell optiplex micro and lenovo tiny can be potential middle grounds between celeron performance and more recent i3, i5, r3 r5 processor.

For $150 though it has pretty good specs and it has 4.3/5 stars on Amazon with 703 ratings. Yeah you could go for the Beelink Mini S12 Pro that your talking about and it looks like that deal is still going on but its $20 higher than this deal and the only differences in the specs that I see are Wifi 6 (vs wifi 5) and the Beelink has an M.2 SSD
instead of a SATA SSD.Edit: Actually nevermind it looks like after reading the product description on the Kamrui it also comes with an M.2 SSD.

Tons of videos on YouTube of people doing this.
The only reason I can see people buying these are for niche purposes.
