Although you can get a N100 box with a smaller footprint, you may not be able to upgrade the ram or wifi card. I ran into that myself and decided to return it for that reason. I think each has their own strengths.
Most of the N100 boxes are barebones, so you're probably looking at $250 to get it fully running.
Over long term use, though, you're saving a ton on electricity.

If u need expandability, long term Support, go with Dell. I imagine average user would b happier with N100 minipc with its wifi, if aware that if anything goes wrong, it s likely a throw-away.

I'm a huge fan of 8/9 gen for Plex. The i5 and higher can transcode 4k for local play in Plex. They do everything I need on a daily basis.
Do you want barebones n100 and spend a little more: you save on electricity and get a newer cpu that has some newer codec support. You lose out on expandable options.
Do you want the 8/9 gen: has ram already, you can add an extra card or two to the pcie and buff it up a bit (extra nvme cards for example)

Admittedly $300 when on sale, but still in some ways a better deal than buying one of these SFF machines and paying to deck it out.

i5 9th gen is cheapest I'd recommend currently.
