What is a Mini PC?
A mini PC is a complete desktop computer in a small chassis. It has a processor, memory, storage and ports, and it takes up far less desk space than a tower PC. Mini PCs run Windows, Linux or other operating systems and suit office work, digital signage, kiosks, point of sale and light development.
