What Is a Windows Small Form Factor PC?
A Windows small form factor PC is a compact desktop computer that runs Windows 11 Professional in a case much smaller than a standard tower. Mini PCs of this type fit behind a monitor, under a desk, or on a wall mount. They suit offices, kiosks, digital signage, point-of-sale terminals, and light industrial work where space is limited.
