Mini PCs can change how we can do computing. PCs can be hidden behind monitors, replace IoT devices with stronger security and easier maintenance. I want to help people learn about tiny low power devices that can make their lives easier!
Really basic stuff but not anything that would need high quality graphics. You really want to look at a mini with at least a Radeon 680 for entry to serious gaming. This machine is really meant for home computing

Nice review, my question is it is capable for editing photos using software like photoshop, lightroom and others?
@MiniPCTechnology2 ай бұрын
Good question. Since it supports 4K it is capable of photo editing. What you would have to look at is what each program’s requirements are. For instance, Lightroom requires at least 8GB of RAM but recommends 16 GB. So although the 8 GB model might work OK, if you’re serious about this, you might want to get the 16 GB model.

This video was completely improvised. There is a tech term called a “server farm”. That’s a group of servers that can be interconnected to perform a bunch of functions. When I started out in tech we built a group of servers for a government project. Thirty servers took up an entire room. Today 30 servers would barely take up a single rack.
