A mini -PC is a relatively new product as a PC form factor (shape), and as the name suggests, it is a small size PC.The mainstream is a pizza box of about 15 cm on one side, and the weight is less than 1 kg, so you can easily carry it without taking up space.

Unlike laptops, LCD displays and keyboards are not included, so use separately.You can also use LCD TV instead of display.The specifications are often lower than that of a normal size PC, but it is enough to have a video meeting in a home work or create a document using Office.The price is cheap, so it is also recommended for second machines and children online classes.
There are three main points when choosing a mini PC.
The first is the installed CPU.Low -priced products are often equipped with Celeron, but since Celeron is a low -priced version, the performance is lower than in the Core I series.Even if it is a Celeron -equipped product, it is enough to create a document or surf the internet, but if you want to work heavy, such as editing a video, Core I is recommended.
The second is the mounted memory and storage.Some low -priced products have only 4GB of memory, but at least 8GB wants to use Windows 10/11 comfortably.Storage passes if you have an SSD of 128GB or more.Be careful with products with a storage of 64GB or less, especially EMMC.EMMC has a lower performance compared to SSD, so if you value comfort, choose a product with SSD.
The third is the number and type of interface installed.The mini -PC will be used by connecting keyboards, mouse, and displays, so it is more convenient to have as many interfaces such as USB ports as possible.
Based on the above, this time we will introduce 5 recommended mini -PC products.
