A mini PC is a small desktop computer. It has a processor, memory, storage and ports in a housing about the size of a book. Mini PCs run the same kinds of software as full-size desktops. They take less space, draw less power and suit tight installations such as kiosks, signage, machine controls and office desks.
Thinvent mini PCs come in two platforms. The Micro 6 Pro uses an ARM Cortex A55 processor with four cores, a maximum frequency of 1.9 GHz and 1 MB of cache. It has 4 GB of onboard RAM and 32 GB of eMMC storage. It runs Thinux embedded Linux and has dual-antenna WiFi and one HDMI output.
The Treo uses an Intel Celeron N5095A processor from the 11th generation. It has four cores, a maximum frequency of 2.9 GHz and 4 MB of cache. It has 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and 1 TB of SSD storage. The Treo runs Windows 11 IoT or Windows 11 Pro. It has no WiFi.
