Mini PC

Mini PC/nettop/HTPC

A Mini PC, also called a nettop or HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer), is a computer in a small package. Mini PCs are mainly used for common tasks - writing text, spreadsheets, and presentations in office software, surfing the internet, watching videos, viewing photos, and accessing Web tools and applications.

Mini PCs (or nettops / HTPCs) are especially popular, because they save space. Moreover, compared to a desktop PC, they consume much less power and are less noisy. Because of their modest size, they can be hung on the back of the monitor, so you suddenly will have more free space on your desk. Alternatively, you can use the Mini PC as a media center. Just connect it to your LCD TV, buy a remote control (eg. a wireless keyboard), and play your favorite movies or view pictures. The best-known manufacturers of Mini PCs are ASUS, Intel NUC, Gigabyte, HP, Lenovo, and Zotac.
