Towers are a thing of the past: mini PCs are conquering our offices

28.09.2017

The industry acquired a taste for mini PCs some time ago. But they have also long since won over many offices. And not without reason: while towers often take up a lot of space and disturb the background noise with active cooling systems, mini PCs offer the possibility of creating a quiet working environment thanks to passive, silent cooling systems. The compact systems are also impressive in terms of computing power. Find out what makes a mini PC for the office.

Why should a mini PC decorate my workplace?

We don't want to beat about the bush. We have simply summarized the most important advantages.

Advantages of a mini PC for the office

-    Reduction of background noise
-    Energy-saving
-    Space-saving
-    Efficient working thanks to high computing power
-    Longevity

Sounds good? We think so too. But anyone can make that claim. We have explained the advantages mentioned above briefly and concisely for you at
.

Reduction of background noise:

One of the biggest factors affecting the noise level of a PC is the cooling system. Above all passively cooled systems
contribute to a pleasant working atmosphere, as they are much quieter than actively cooled systems.
It makes sense: where there is no fan, there is no noise.

The choice of hard disk should also not be underestimated in terms of volume. If you choose in conjunction with a
passively cooled system an SSD, so you can work completely silently.

Power-saving:

As there is no need for active ventilation and the hardware of a mini PC generally consumes less power,
you also save a few costs.
Who would have thought it: Here too, the SSD makes a not insignificant contribution
(see also "What is the difference between HDD and SSD?").

Space-saving:

It's kind of obvious, isn't it?

Efficient work thanks to high performance:

The use of desktop CPUs in mini PCs is now commonplace. The same applies to dedicated graphics chips.
Benchmarks beyond good and evil can be achieved even in the smallest PC case.

Longevity:

This applies in particular to our passively cooled systems:
As the passive cooling in our Mini-PCs, i.e. cooling fins and heat pipes, cannot fail, the Mini-PCs are automatically
expected to have a longer service life. The same applies to SSDs, which can record several write cycles compared to mechanically operated
HDDs.
