What Is a Mini PC?
A mini PC is a small desktop computer built on a compact board. It runs a full operating system such as Windows 11 Pro, Ubuntu Linux or Thinux Embedded Linux. Mini PCs suit offices, kiosks, digital signage, point-of-sale and light industrial work where space is limited. Buyers choose a mini PC by processor, memory, storage, power adapter, wireless support and operating system.
