Use Cases
Use a mini PC where space is limited or where a full tower is unnecessary. Common applications include front-desk and point-of-sale systems, digital signage players, kiosks, and control or monitoring stations. The ARM model suits embedded Linux deployments. Models with dual LAN suit systems that need separate network connections.
