High-Performance Mini PCs for Demanding Applications
A high-performance mini PC is a compact computer that runs demanding software in a small chassis. Buyers choose a mini PC when they need processing power without a full tower, or when space, power draw or mounting options matter. The Thinvent range covers two platforms for this purpose: the Micro 6 Pro, which uses an ARM processor, and the Treo, which uses an Intel processor.
The Thinvent Treo Mini PC uses an Intel Celeron N5095A processor. It has 4 cores, a maximum frequency of 2.9 GHz and 4 MB of cache. It includes 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1 TB SSD. Its 12V 5A adapter supplies power. Models are available with Windows 11 IoT, Windows 11 Professional or Windows 11 Pro, and with or without a Thinvent keyboard and mouse set. The Treo has no WiFi.
The Thinvent Micro 6 Pro Mini PC uses an ARM Cortex A55 processor. It has 4 cores, a maximum frequency of 1.9 GHz and 1 MB of cache. It includes 4 GB of onboard RAM and 32 GB of eMMC storage. It has one HDMI output and dual antenna WiFi. It runs Thinux embedded Linux and draws power through a 5V 2A adapter. Options include an HDMI to VGA cable, a keyboard and mouse set, and a VESA mount.
