What Is a Small PC?
A small PC is a compact desktop computer that fits in the palm of a hand or on the back of a monitor. Mini PCs of this kind use a low-power processor, solid-state storage and a small chassis. They suit office desks, digital signage, kiosks, point-of-sale systems and home offices where space is limited. Buyers choose a small PC when they need a full Windows or Linux computer without the size, noise or power draw of a tower.
