What is a mini PC?
A mini PC is a small desktop computer. It has a compact chassis, a full processor, memory and storage, and it connects to a monitor, keyboard and mouse like a standard desktop. Mini PCs take up little desk or rack space and are often used where a full tower is not practical, such as kiosks, digital signage, point-of-sale terminals, machine control and office work.
