What is a mini PC?
A mini PC is a small desktop computer built on a compact board. It is much smaller than a tower PC and uses less power. Mini PCs run full desktop operating systems, connect to standard monitors, keyboards and mice, and handle office work, digital signage, kiosks, point-of-sale and light industrial tasks.
