What Is a Mini PC?
A mini PC is a complete desktop computer built into a compact chassis. It is small enough to mount behind a monitor, on a VESA bracket, or inside a control cabinet. A mini PC has a processor, memory, storage, and input and output ports, the same as a full-size desktop. It uses less power and takes up less space.
