What Is a Mini PC?
A mini PC is a complete computer in a small housing. It includes a processor, memory, storage, and display outputs in a unit that is often smaller than a hardcover book. Mini PCs suit digital signage, kiosks, machine control, office desks, and any space where a full tower does not fit.
