He will be able to drag heavy games, but there are laptops that are better from him and cheaper. Xiaomi gaming laptop, the price of 1300 dollars for a very cool build. Try it, you might like it

Would a mini PC do the job of staking coins/tokens?

I don't want to buy a standard pc due to not having enough space in my room.

Can a Intel NUC do it?

specs:

Intel Core i7-7567U
RAM: 32GB DDR4
512GB SSD
Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650

My other question is can i do some heavy browsing on it? Since it has a Dual Core procesor. Other than that just run wallets.

That Intel NUC has way better specs than most VPSs that are used for hosting masternodes or staking (commons is 2 vCores with 1-2gb of memory), so you should be able to run multiple (probably 8-10+ depending on how resource-intensive the wallet is) wallets on that machine and still be able to use it at the same time.

Some people also use Raspberry PI for staking or hosting a masternode. Bulwark even made their own software to run a node on the PI.

Yes, that PC is more than powerful enough.  32GB of RAM is more that most home computers have.
