Msecore Best Mini PC for Business

Small form-factor PCs have been around for decades and, for the most part, people use them as home media centers to stream audio and video. Over the past several years, however, a new size of PC has emerged—ultra-small form-factor PCs that measure 5- x 5- x 1-inches or even smaller.

While affordable mini PCs can handle home theater and media center tasks, we decided to evaluate five of them from a different point of view. In this article we look at five of the best mini PCs and ways that you can use them in your business.

We looked at five mini PCs that sport an ultra-small form factor. How small are they, exactly? Devices from both Gigabyte and Intel have a 4-inch square case that's a mere one or two inches thick.

Slightly larger, the Shuttle mini PC measures 5-inches square and 1-inch tall. The largest mini PC we tested is the Acer Revo One—it's about the size of a small bookshelf speaker. Rounding out the group, the seriously small Lenovo IdeaCentre Stick 300 is about the size of a pack of gum.i5-4200u 4g ram 128g ssd Msecore Mini PC
