The biggest feature of your PC is that it is small and mini enough. Take the Intel NUC, the most extreme mini PC product at present, as an example. The slap-sized body can be placed in any corner of the room. Its positioning is similar to an HTPC, which is a home theater computer. You can connect it to a TV or projector in the living room and play audio and video files through the Internet or hard disk.
It has the following unique properties:
It can install a complete Windows operating system. Except for its small size, it has no difference in experience with a normal Windows computer The functions we implement with a Windows computer can be easily achieved on a mini PC.
In terms of performance, if you want to use a mini PC to play games, it may disappoint you. Most mini consoles can't do this task. Manufacturers need to keep the console as small as possible while ensuring cooling capacity, so those high-spec hardware are not enough. It is possible to walk into a mini-pc with limited space.
The biggest use of mini-computers is in the field of business office, and its various characteristics just fit this market. The compact body can be placed directly behind the monitor or in any inconspicuous corner, which greatly saves office space. For most users, high hardware performance is not required. As long as the memory is sufficient, the processor can meet the requirements. With a moderate amount of multitasking, the display performance is good enough for basic graphics processing like Photoshop.
The last point to mention is the price. Since there are no accessories such as monitors and keyboards, the price of mini PCs is much lower than that of PC products such as notebooks or all-in-one computers with the same configuration. The price of some brands of mini PCs is even higher than that of DIY. Level configuration mini computer are even less expensive.
