What is a VGA Mini PC?
A VGA mini PC is a small computer that connects to a monitor or projector through a VGA port. VGA is an older analog display standard, and many screens, projectors and industrial displays still use it. A mini PC with VGA output lets these displays work without replacing them.
The Thinvent range does not include a built-in VGA port. Instead, the Thinvent® Micro 6 Pro Mini PC is supplied with an HDMI to VGA cable. Its HDMI port connects to a VGA display through this adapter cable.
