Video Segment Featuring the ACE PC T11 Mini PC

For this Segment we took a look at the latest in Desktop Computers. It’s about going smaller. Mini PC’s have been talked about for years and even Shuttle Computers made smaller form factor PC’s yet they were still a ways from being Mini. Considering the price and power between some of the new smartphones, The Galaxy S20 has more memory you may find in some laptops, 8GB or 12GB! We will see that trend continue.

In the past year we have seen lots of articles about building your own Mini PC’s or buying them from Manufacturers, The Raspberry Pi is a small system that can be built set on Linux with a lot of different configurations. Apple also has had a powerful minicomputer known as the MacMini, like most of the Apple products they are great but also come with a sizeable price tag.
