Desktop Computer with Monitor: What to Know
A desktop computer with a monitor is a set of separate parts: a computer unit, a display and a keyboard and mouse. The computer unit runs the software, and the monitor shows the output. Buyers can choose the unit and the monitor separately. Compact mini PCs and industrial PCs are small computer units that connect to any standard monitor through HDMI or USB-C.
Mini PCs and industrial PCs use Intel Core processors. The Thinvent range includes Core i3, i5 and i7 models from the 11th, 12th and 14th generations.

Each unit has HDMI ports for connecting a monitor. Some models also include USB-C. Operating systems include Windows 11 Pro, Windows 11 IoT Value and Ubuntu Linux. Power adapters are 12V 7A, 12V 5A or 19V 3A.
