Mini PC Prices and What Affects Them
A mini PC price depends mainly on the processor, the memory and storage, and the operating system. Entry models with an Intel Celeron N5095A processor, 4 GB RAM and 128 GB storage sit at the lower end of the Thinvent range. Models with a 12th to 14th generation Intel Core processor, 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage sit at the upper end. Thinvent does not publish prices on this page.
