What is a mini PC pendrive?
A mini PC pendrive is a small computer that fits on a USB-stick-sized footprint or slightly larger. The term "pendrive" is a common name for a USB flash drive. A mini PC is a complete computer with a processor, memory, storage and ports in a compact chassis. Thinvent does not manufacture a device that is only a USB flash drive. The Thinvent range includes compact mini PCs that connect to a monitor, keyboard and mouse like a full desktop.
