Mini PCs With Type-C: What to Look For
A mini PC with Type-C connectivity uses USB Type-C ports for data, display and power on a compact chassis. The Thinvent Aero Mini PC is built on the Intel N100 processor and is offered in several configurations. The Thinvent range does not include a separate Type-C-only model, so check the rear panel port list on each configuration before you buy.
