DroiX looks at the very best Office Mini PC\u2019s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having access to a functional computer is essential to any modern office environment in this day and age. More and more services are moving online, and communications via physical documents alone are becoming increasingly slow and insecure in comparison to digital technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, not every type of computer is suitable for an office environment. If you work a sit-down, white-collar job, you’ll probably be looking for something that is lightweight and does not require much setup, particularly so if you regularly work with physical documents (forms, tools, etc.) so that your desk is not too cluttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why you should consider an Office Mini PC<\/a>, and why we at DroiX have put together this buying guide containing some of the best Office Mini PCs we currently have available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need a mini PC that’s for something other than the office? Check out our broader selection here!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of an Office Mini PC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of opting for a mini PC as your office computer are numerous, including the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affordability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Prices for office-friendly mini PC’s have never been more affordable. Years ago a powerful yet compact PC may have cost you easily within the thousands for a unit that wasn’t much more powerful than a model twice the size at a third of the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays you can get mini PC’s with performance comparable to that of a full-sized desktop easily from around \u00a3300 to \u00a3500. This includes, RAM, storage (via SSD) and the operating system too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The savings don’t end at the up-front costs either. Many office-friendly mini PCs feature energy-efficient processors that operate at a much lower TDP than a traditional desktop PC. Meaning if you tend to leave your office computer running for long periods of time, you will save slightly on electricity costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Space-Saving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because of their small size, mini PCs are naturally very space-efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to get an immediate idea of how small one is. Splay out your hand wide, then make a claw with the tips of your fingers. You would be able to comfortably hold an office mini PC with this hand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes them perfect for saving space when your desk is full of assorted documents, files, ornaments and gizmos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No-Fuss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most appealing parts of mini PCs is the reduced overhead in setting them up when compared to a full-sized desktop PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reduced size means there’s less to lug about. And there’s very little in the way of tools required. It’s like buying a prebuilt PC, but even more manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uniform<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is an understated benefit that may not be of use to the home user, but is invaluable in enterprise setups with tens upon hundreds of computers (large financial institutions, schools, etc.). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each unit from a model line is near identical to the next, so it is very easy to re-apply tried-and-true troubleshooting techniques across your entire inventory, as well as ensure that users are getting similar performance out of their unit, provided they are following any guidelines you may have defined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the best Office Mini PC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best office mini PC is, as with all PCs, entirely dependent on your environment and use cases.
For example, if you (or your employees\/colleagues) will be required to perform CPU-heavy tasks such as video rendering, you will want to opt for expensive models with high-performing CPUs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a receptionist who needs a simple point-of-service device to book in appointments and other similar administrative tasks? Then a lower-end model running an i3 processor may be all that is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your PC is going to serve as a hub to many different peripherals, it may be prudent to get a model with a large number of USB ports too (most mid range models and above usually come with 4 to 6 USB ports).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can an Office Mini PC do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An office mini PC can in essence, do anything a standard PC can, but here are a few ideas as to what you can use a mini PC for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
