- Asus 40 · Blackview 22
- 41 machines with a 36-month and 26 with a 24-month warranty
- Book-sized, low power draw, minimal noise
- For office work, media on a television and digital signage
What a mini PC does well
Office work. For documents, email, spreadsheets and browsing, a current mini PC lacks nothing compared with a tower — and occupies the space of a book.
Media on a television. One cable to connect, minimal power draw, and it can stay on permanently with no noise and no cost.
Digital signage and point of sale. In a shop or a restaurant, a machine hidden behind the screen on a VESA mount is practically invisible.
Where the limits are
Graphics. There is no dedicated card and none can be added. For gaming and heavy 3D work, this is not the right category.
Upgrades. Many models allow memory and drive changes, but not all — and the processor is always soldered. Check the specifications before assuming.
Ports. Limited space means fewer ports. Count what you will connect — monitors, keyboard, printer, drives — and see whether they suffice or you will need a hub.
The power consumption advantage
A mini PC draws a fraction of the electricity of a desktop. On a machine running eight hours a day, every day, the difference shows on the bill — and it comes with less heat and almost no noise in the room.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it suitable for gaming?
- Not for current demanding titles. There is no dedicated graphics card and none can be added.
- Can it be upgraded?
- Many models accept memory and drive changes. The processor is always soldered. Check the specifications of the specific model.
- What memory does it use?
- Usually SO-DIMM, meaning laptop-type memory, because the size does not allow full-size DIMM modules.
- Can I hide it behind the monitor?
- Yes, if it has VESA mounting — many models include the bracket in the box.
- Is it silent?
- Almost. Low power draw means little heat, so the fan rarely runs hard.
