What Is a Mini PC?
A mini PC is a complete desktop computer in a small chassis. It has a processor, memory, storage, and display outputs on a board smaller than a standard desktop tower. Mini PCs are used where space is limited, where power use must stay low, and where a fixed system must run continuously. Thinvent mini PCs are offered with Intel Core, Intel Celeron, AMD Ryzen, and ARM Cortex processors.
