What is an HDMI Mini PC Stick?
An HDMI mini PC stick is a small computer that plugs directly into an HDMI port on a display or TV. It runs a full operating system and connects to a monitor, projector or digital signage screen without a separate tower. Thinvent's range of mini PCs includes compact units with one HDMI output, so buyers can add computing to a display with minimal space and cabling.
