What Is a Mini PC?
A mini PC is a complete desktop computer in a small chassis. It has a processor, memory, storage, and ports for displays, networks and peripherals. Mini PCs take up far less desk or rack space than a tower PC, and they use less power. They suit offices, kiosks, digital signage, point-of-sale terminals, edge computing and home labs.
