Use cases

The Thinvent range does not include a dedicated graphics card. Heavy 4K colour grading and Fusion effects need a GPU with more VRAM than the integrated graphics in these models.
Thinvent mini PCs for video editing
Thinvent's Aero Mini PC models with 16 GB RAM and a 10-core Intel Core processor are the best fit for video editing in this range. Choose the 512 GB SSD models for larger media libraries. Choose the Intel Core i3-1215U model with 8 GB RAM only for basic editing.
