A small form factor PC is a compact computer built on a mini chassis, typically a few litres in volume, that runs a full desktop operating system. Small form factor PCs suit offices, kiosks, digital signage and labs where space is limited.
The Thinvent range includes mini PCs with Intel Core, Intel Core Ultra, Intel Celeron, AMD Ryzen and ARM Cortex processors. None of the Thinvent mini PCs listed on this page includes a discrete GPU. Their processors use integrated graphics, which handle desktop display, video playback and light graphics work. Buyers who need a dedicated graphics card should check the expansion options of a specific model before purchase.
