Desktop & All-In-One PCs

Time to Downsize

Bigger isn't always better, especially when it comes to newfangled gadgetry. While computers used to need an entire room to house all their hardware, these days, everything has become a lot more compact. Take the mini PC, for example. Unlike much larger PCs, the mini desktop PC takes up a fraction of the space, while providing many of the same capabilities as its larger counterparts. So, what should you look for when buying a mini PC?

As with any type of PC, choosing a mini PC means thinking about what it offers in terms of functionality. Think about what operating system it uses, and whether this is compatible with your needs. Consider the storage it offers, and the kinds of features it has available. Are there any compatible accessories you need to use with it? Are there are particular jobs you need it to do? Also think about how fast it needs to be, and whether you will be doing anything on it that requires certain specs, such as design projects or gaming.

Buying a Mini PC

When shopping for a mini PC, the first place to look is eBay. Home to a massive range of computing options, eBay has everything from the latest Apple laptops to old-school PC laptops and notebooks. Compare all the options side-by-side, thinking about the brand and what kind of reputation it has for durability and useability. Look at the prices to work out what will fit your budget, and consider second-hand options if your pockets are not deep enough to afford the newest gadget on the market. It can also be helpful to check online review sites, as this can give you an idea of what each model offers, and whether it will match your needs. Now, time to buy!
