The query names HP's desktop range, and the facts we could confirm cover HP's Pro Tower 280 G9 desktop PC and general HP desktop listings. We could not confirm the price or full specifications of any single HP desktop, so this page compares the HP desktop range with Thinvent's Treo Mini PC line, which is built around Intel and AMD processors, a compact aluminium housing and a choice of Windows, Linux or no operating system. The closest Thinvent match for a general-purpose office or home desktop is the Thinvent Treo Mini PC.
