HP Slim Desktop vs Thinvent Treo Mini PC

Key differences

• The HP Slim Desktop's listed maximum RAM is 128 GB, which is higher than the Thinvent Treo's maximum of 64 GB. The Treo is configurable up to 64 GB, which is sufficient for most mini PC workloads.

• Both Treo configurations include a 2 TB SSD, Wi-Fi 5 dual band (on the Core i3 model) and a VESA mount.

• The Treo's wireless option is available in both Wi-Fi and no-Wi-Fi versions, so you can choose the networking that suits your installation.

• The Treo has a choice of operating systems: Windows 11 Pro, Windows 11 IoT Value, Ubuntu Linux, Thinux™ Embedded Linux, Without OS, and DOS.

• We could not confirm the HP Slim Desktop's storage, operating system or core count from the available information, so those cells are marked as not confirmed.

Which one should you choose?

If you need the highest possible memory ceiling, the HP Slim Desktop's stated 128 GB maximum is the stronger figure. If you want a compact Intel mini PC with a 2 TB SSD, a choice of operating systems, and a Core i3 processor with 6 cores, the Thinvent Treo with i3-1315U is a strong alternative. For a lower-power Celeron option, the Treo N5095A is available.
