What is a 1 PC?
"1 PC" is not a recognised product name or model. The query most likely refers to a single personal computer, meaning one complete, self-contained computer unit with a processor, memory, storage and an operating system. Thinvent manufactures several types of single-unit computers, including mini PCs, industrial PCs, thin clients and micro computers, so buyers looking for one compact computer have a range to choose from.
Key Specifications to Compare
Thinvent computers differ mainly in processor family, memory, storage and operating system. The range includes two processor families:
-
Intel Core and Intel N-Series processors (for example Core i5-1240P, Core i3-1215U and N100) for Windows or Linux workloads, with 4 to 12 cores and up to 4.4 GHz.
-
ARM Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A55 processors (4 cores, up to 1.9 GHz) for low-power embedded Linux devices.
Memory ranges from 2 GB to 32 GB, and storage ranges from 16 GB eMMC to 1 TB SSD.
