What is a high spec mini PC?
A high spec mini PC is a small-form-factor computer with a multi-core processor, several gigabytes of memory and fast onboard storage. Mini PCs of this type fit behind a monitor or on a desk, and they run full desktop or embedded operating systems. Buyers choose them for digital signage, kiosks, office work, light computing and industrial control, where space and power use matter.
The Thinvent range includes two processor families. The Treo Mini PC uses an Intel Celeron N5095A processor with 4 cores, a maximum frequency of 2.9 GHz and 4 MB of cache. It includes 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and 1 TB of SSD storage. The Micro 6 Pro Mini PC uses an ARM Cortex A55 processor with 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.
