Mini PCs, also referred to as miniature PCs or smart micro PCs, represent a specialized category of computers that offer most of the functionality and capabilities of traditional larger computers but in a compact physical form. They contain core components found in standard computers, including a CPU, memory, operating system, and various interfaces, although they may lack some elements typically found in larger systems. Mini PCs are designed to excel in specific tasks such as serving as a home media and entertainment center, supporting office multimedia workflows, or functioning as a home automation hub.
