A rugged mini computer is a small, compact PC built to run in harsh or demanding environments. It is designed for continuous operation, with an enclosure that protects internal components from dust, heat and vibration. Rugged mini PCs suit factory floors, kiosks, digital signage, machine control and embedded applications where a full desktop PC would not fit or survive.
