In the world of computing, there exists a no man’s land between your desktop and your laptop: the mini PC. Given the right monitor and the right accessories, your mini PC will fit right in. To make sure your mini PC is prepared to get the job done, we’ve put together this guide to get you up and running with everything you need to know about your mini PC. From choosing the right monitor to accessorising to the never ending problem of staying CHARGED, we’ve got you covered.
The right monitor can make your mini PC experience much better. A portable monitor is an ideal choice for a mini PC if you want more flexibility and is easy to use anywhere you have a power supply. A standard monitor offers more viewing area, which is good for game, and for streaming or more work you need to do.
Choosing a monitor is not just about deciding whether you want a bigger or more portable one – it depends on your environment, what you will use your mini PC for, and how much space you have.
The peripherals you use with your mini PC – a keyboard, mouse, headphones or speakers – will have a large bearing on your experience. Wired peripherals have the advantage of being worry-free, in that you don’t need to think about charging your devices, especially if you travel a lot. On the other hand, wireless devices can be more convenient, especially if you hate cable clutter. Moreover, modern wireless peripherals are much better than they were in the past, with better battery life and charging options, including charging via USB-C.
Mini PCs today aren’t to be seen lightly, either. For some casual gaming and even quite a lot of serious work, they can prove to be the best fit. With the help of selected accessories, external GPUs for more demanding tasks, it can be even more versatile than ordinary setups.
The right accessories can help elevate a mini PC setup, from VESA mounts and USB hubs to power banks. Not only do you declutter your workspace, but you’ll never have to worry about keeping your devices charged up. The flexibility of a docking station such as the H660 can help simplify connectivity – with a single USB-C Cable, you can quickly establish multiple connections, and this is particularly helpful for those who need to take their workspace between home and the office. A high-capacity power bank can even keep your mini PC and peripherals topped up, so you can be mobile without constantly worrying about running short on power.
Pick a mini PC over a laptop and you won’t be making a thimble-to-palm trade-off. Instead, you’ll be setting yourself up for convenience that breezes past the constraints of a laptop. At home, a mini PC can be an alternative to a desktop when it comes to productivity and entertainment. And out on the road, it might well become the ultimate replacement for your laptop.
At this point in the article, you should have a solid grasp of what kind of monitor, peripherals and accessories make sense for your mini PC to get it up and running, and looking like a full-fledged desktop. Selecting the right inputs for your ultraportable device will make it fun and usable, but your charging strategy is just as important. With this final tip, we wrap up the discussion of the mini PC’s functional aspects. We’ve seen that choosing wired peripherals vs wireless ones has a big effect on set-up convenience and reliability, and getting the right accessories such as a USB hub and power bank can mitigate the battery-life and connectivity challenges of an ultraportable, so that you stay powered on and ready for whatever next.
CHARGE is the physical energy stored in an electronic device’s battery that powers it to operate. Whether it’s keeping your wireless peripherals powered up and ready to go, or knowing that your mini PC can keep you going through a day’s work detached from an electrical outlet, keeping charge under control is key to a successful mini PC deployment. The latest charging innovations, from fast-charging USB-C cables to higher-capacity power banks, make it easier than ever to keep your devices at a full charge and ready to go, adding yet another layer of popular appeal to the highly mobile mini PC.
That’s because, in the bantamweight world of mini PCs, preparation also means that you’ve got the right kind of charger – and it works, so you’re ready to get to work. With this ultimate guide, you’re now prepared, charged, and freed from the weight of your wired world.
