What did you both end up getting?
I think my current front runner is the Euphy G40 (newer version of the G30, but same price), as it has path maping (as all G series do via a gyro and floor tracker) so it knows where its been, but doesnt actively map your house with lidar etc ( L series ) which I really dont trust, given Euphys history with privacy. Annoying though it needs an app, I would rather a remote control with no reliance on an app at all.All the other models (S11, S11 Max, 15c, 15C Max, 30c, 30C Max) are all 'bumper car' style ones which just bumble about until its time to recharge.

In other news I watched this:

And now I and my GF (who normally has little interest in games) are totally hooked, played for 10 hrs this weekend.

You want one of these, they bounce very well which is handy because you'll be dropping it a lot off the sofa

I think I have a spare one in the attic somewhere if you want it cheap

Min spec is integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000. This was included in the Ivy Bridge processors of 2012 (3rd generation of core, e.g. Core i7-3770), so anything newer than that should be supported*
*I've never used zwift, so I have no idea how graphically demanding it is. You many only get lowest settings if you get something older, but i have no idea how imporant this is in Zwift. Also, see my comments above about 8th Gen intel if you want W11 natively.

Obvs check the Ziwft minmum specs before buying anything:
https://support.zwift.com/en_us/supported-devices-to-run-zwift-H1Cj9QbeB
But if you just want Zwift soul's idea of an apple TV maybe better as it prob has lower power, cheaper, and def smaller footprint, but maybe not as flexible for other things you may want to do.

8gb is the sweet spot, but used ram is cheap.
You'll have to check the specific CPU online to see what video/codecs it can easily work with, I wasnt that bothered as I knew I would be adding a low profile gfx card which would easily deal with anything I needed.
This is the W11 CPU list:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processorsAnything over 8th gen (for W11) will easily do 1080p no problem, not sure about 4k.
Edit: I had a i5 4th gen in my old one and that would play 1080p video without problems.

Two other points i'll make about these machines whilst I remember, enterprise grade stuff is normally expected to have high up hours (loads of people dont turn off their office PC's) so the PSU's tend to be way better than consumer stuff, and they almost always have had a windows digital licence applied so you get legit windows 10/11 pro for free

See my previous comments to @hippy



Have you considered bone conduction headphones?
Edit: saw your comment about delay - it's a problem with older BT standards
