What is a Type C Mini PC?
A Type C mini PC is a small desktop computer that connects to power and peripherals through USB Type-C and related ports. Thinvent's Type C mini PC range is built around the Aero Mini PC, which runs on the Intel N100 processor. The Aero Mini PC is a compact, fanless-style desktop for office work, kiosks, digital signage, and embedded tasks.
