What is a mini PC?
A mini PC is a small desktop computer built on a compact board. It runs a full operating system and connects to a monitor, keyboard and mouse like a standard desktop. Mini PCs take little desk space and suit digital signage, kiosks, office use, and embedded control tasks.
Thinvent mini PCs come in two platforms. The Micro 6 Pro uses an ARM Cortex A55 processor. The Treo uses an Intel Celeron N5095A processor. Both platforms have one HDMI output and run from an external power adapter.
