A barebone mini PC is a small computer sold without some or all of its components. The buyer adds the parts that fit the job, such as memory, storage and an operating system. Thinvent barebone and mini PC systems use Intel and AMD processors, with memory, storage and operating systems set to the buyer's needs. The Thinvent range is listed in the table below.
Barebone mini PCs suit kiosks, digital signage, office desks, point-of-sale terminals and embedded control. The small chassis takes less space than a desktop tower. The low power draw reduces heat and running cost.
