Key differences
-
The Thinvent Treo Mini PC with Intel i5 12th 1240P supports up to 64 GB of RAM, four times the 16 GB maximum of the HP ProDesk 400 G1.
-
The Thinvent Treo Mini PC has a 2 TB SSD, and the Treo Mini PC with Intel i5 12th 1240P has 12 cores.
-
The Thinvent Treo has a dual band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) version. The HP ProDesk 400 G1 has no on-board Wi-Fi.
-
The Thinvent Treo is a Mini PC with a VESA mount and 1000 Mbps Ethernet. The HP ProDesk 400 G1 uses a Small Form Factor or Microtower chassis, and its 2.5-inch drive bay and SATA ports are not present on the Thinvent Treo, which uses an M.2 slot for its SSD.
-
Trade-off: the HP ProDesk 400 G1 uses an Intel Core i5 processor and we could not confirm its core count, storage capacity or operating system, so a like-for-like comparison of those values is not possible from our data.
