Any recommendations as to a low power Windows PC to simply run web browser and some lightweight Windows apps? I was hoping to find something that consumes 6-10 watts idle. I would like it to be able to drive a 4K display too. Older models would be fine. Thanks!

Yea but you can't use low cost and NUC in the same sentence and be telling the truth.
Does it need to be a desktop form factor? For power that low, I'd recommend looking first at laptops. The vast majority of them will have idle power that low or lower. 4k support is widespread on today's laptops, and should be fairly common on ones going back a few years, but you'll want to double check that if you're buying used.
You’ll probably want a Jasper Lake NUC clone. There are quite a few out by now. The Chinese ones are pretty small, but if you want “support” if needed, there are also a bunch of ASUS, Gigabyte, and MSI models. They all can do 4K60.
Intel’s official Jasper Lake NUC just got soft-released as well. Availability be damned.

Cpu is old, but I wish anything with Elkhart Lake will be available.
