Would this be a good place to start?

I'm looking into starting with home assistant and am kinda baffled with all the information I read over the last week. I found a second hand Intel NUC5PPYH with HA already installed, 4GB ram and a 120GB ssd for €80. I think it's a good deal, it's cheaper than a raspberry pi4 kit and I like the idea of having a ssd. Would this be a good start for a newbie in the home assistant world? Or should I go with a raspberry pi4, because that's what seems a bit more common to start out with?
