What Is a Mini PC?
A mini PC is a small desktop computer. It uses a compact board and a low-power processor, so it takes up little desk or rack space. Mini PCs run standard operating systems and connect to the same monitors, keyboards and peripherals as a full-size desktop. Businesses use them for point-of-sale, digital signage, kiosks, machine control and office work.
