The Dell Petit PC is a Dell small-form-factor desktop, and the facts we could find cover Dell OptiPlex small-form-factor and micro desktops rather than one confirmed Petit model. We could not confirm the Petit PC's processor, memory, storage or operating system. The closest Thinvent match for a compact business desktop is the Thinvent Aero Mini PC, which is available with Intel Core and AMD Ryzen processors, up to 64 GB of RAM and up to 2 TB of storage.
