What is a mini PC?
A mini PC is a small desktop computer built on a compact board and a small chassis. It runs a full operating system and connects to standard monitors, keyboards, mice and networks. Mini PCs take less desk space than a tower PC and draw less power. They suit kiosks, digital signage, office desks, light business work and edge computing.
