What is the smallest mini PC?
A mini PC is a complete computer built into a very small chassis. The smallest mini PCs are typically palm-sized and use low-power processors so they can run without a fan. Thinvent Aero Mini PCs are compact, fanless-class computers built on the Intel N100 processor. They provide full desktop performance in a footprint that fits behind a monitor, under a desk, or inside a kiosk.
