What Is a Mini PC?
A mini PC is a complete desktop computer in a small chassis. It has a processor, memory, storage, and ports for displays, peripherals, and networking. Mini PCs take up a fraction of the space of a tower system and fit behind a monitor, under a desk, or inside a kiosk or machine enclosure. Thinvent mini PCs suit office work, digital signage, point-of-sale, edge computing, and embedded control.
