What is a Windows stick PC?
A Windows stick PC is a very small computer about the size of a USB flash drive. It plugs into the back of a monitor or TV through an HDMI port and runs the full Windows operating system. Stick PCs suit digital signage, kiosks, meeting-room displays, and light office work where space and power use are limited.
Thinvent does not offer a stick-form-factor PC in the range covered on this page. The Thinvent range below uses compact mini PC and industrial PC designs. These products keep the same goal of a small, low-power Windows system, but they use a box housing with separate display and power connections.
