What is a cyberdeck mini PC?
A cyberdeck mini PC is a small, portable computer built into a compact case, often used for field work, embedded projects, and mobile computing. The term describes a computer that is compact enough to carry and capable enough to run full applications. Thinvent has two mini PC families that fit this use: the Micro 6 Pro, built on an ARM processor, and the Treo, built on an Intel processor.
Key specifications
The Thinvent Micro 6 Pro Mini PC uses an ARM Cortex A55 processor with 4 cores, a maximum frequency of 1.9 GHz, and 1 MB of cache. It includes 4 GB of onboard RAM and 32 GB of eMMC storage. It has one HDMI output, dual antenna WiFi, and runs Thinux embedded Linux. It is powered by a 5V 2A adapter.
