Mini PCs are popular, especially for the home office. If you don’t need a laptop, a compact PC provides the same computing power cheaper than a laptop and can be tailored to your own needs more flexibly. Many current mini-PCs each contain two memory and SSD modules for up to 64 GB of RAM and 16 TB of mass storage.
With VESA mounts, small computers can be hidden behind a monitor, even if it’s attached to a desk mount. So you create an all-in-one PC that doesn’t look as stylish as an Apple iMac or an HP Envy, but with which you can combine the PC and display it however you like.
Since most mini-PCs – such as the Intel Next Unit of Computing (NUC) series – come with firmly soldered mobile processors that cannot be swapped out afterwards, you need to choose wisely when shopping. For example, if you want to upgrade to Windows 11 at some point, you are not allowed to use a PC with an older processor.
Mini-PCs can be screwed behind the monitor or under the desk using retaining plates.
