HP sells a wide range of PCs, and the processors inside them come from chip makers such as Intel. The closest Thinvent alternatives to a typical HP business or compact PC are the Thinvent Aero Mini PC and the Thinvent Industrial PC IPC3 and IPC5, all built on Intel Core processors with up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM. The facts available to us do not give the processor, RAM or storage configuration of a specific HP model, so the comparison below covers the Intel Core processors used in Thinvent's range and how they compare with HP's typical compact PC configurations.
