What Is a Copilot+ Mini PC?
A Copilot+ PC is a Windows PC that meets Microsoft's hardware requirements for advanced on-device AI features. The certification requires a neural processing unit (NPU) rated at 40 or more TOPS, at least 16 GB of RAM, and at least 256 GB of SSD storage. Certified devices run features such as Recall, Cocreator, Live Captions with translation, and Windows Studio Effects directly on the device. A mini PC is a compact desktop computer in the same family, built into a small chassis for desk, kiosk, and embedded use.
Key Requirements for Copilot+ Certification
Copilot+ certification depends on three hardware minimums:
-
NPU performance of at least 40 TOPS
-
16 GB RAM
-
256 GB SSD
The processor, NPU, memory, and storage must all meet these minimums together. A mini PC with less memory or a lower NPU rating does not meet the Copilot+ bar, even if its processor is fast.
Thinvent Range and Copilot+ Requirements
The Thinvent mini PCs on this page are not listed with NPU ratings, so none of them can be confirmed as Copilot+ certified from the specifications on this page. The table below shows the memory and storage of each Thinvent model that is available with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD, the two figures that are most often compared against the Copilot+ minimums.
| Model | Processor | Cores | Max Frequency | Cache | RAM | SSD | WiFi |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thinvent Aero Mini PC | Intel Core i5-1335U | 10 | 4.6 GHz | 12 MB | 16 GB | 512 GB | No WiFi |
| Thinvent Aero Mini PC | Intel Core 5 120U | 10 | 5.0 GHz | 12 MB | 16 GB | 512 GB | Dual Band WiFi |
| Thinvent Treo Mini PC | AMD Ryzen 5 7430U | 6 | 4.3 GHz | 16 MB | 16 GB | 512 GB | Dual Band WiFi |
| Thinvent Aero Mini PC | Intel Core i7-1255U | 10 | 4.7 GHz | 12 MB | 16 GB | 256 GB | No WiFi |
Thinvent models with 8 GB or 4 GB of RAM do not meet the 16 GB minimum. The Thinvent Micro 6 Pro uses an ARM Cortex A55 processor with 4 GB onboard RAM and 32 GB eMMC storage, and it does not meet the Copilot+ memory or storage requirements.
Choosing a Thinvent Mini PC
Select a model by its processor, memory, and storage. The Thinvent Aero Mini PC with Intel Core 5 120U has the highest maximum frequency in this range at 5.0 GHz, with 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, and Dual Band WiFi. The Thinvent Treo Mini PC with AMD Ryzen 5 7430U has 6 cores, 16 MB cache, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, and Dual Band WiFi. Both Windows 11 Pro configurations are available.
Thinvent mini PCs are suited to business desktops, digital signage, kiosks, and embedded deployments. Confirm the NPU rating of any model against Microsoft's current Copilot+ certification list before you buy it for Copilot+ features.
