Meet the HP mini desktop

You may think you know all the perks of a desktop PC, but there's something new to explore with the HP mini desktop. This innovative, compact PC has all the features you love in a traditional computer along with enhanced security and lots of extras. See what's packed into the tiny size of this robust, modern machine.

What is a mini desktop?

The mini desktop, also known as a "mini PC," is a computer that fits into an exceptionally small case. It's no larger than around 6.97 x 6.89 x 1.34 inches, and it weighs around 3 lbs. Just like with a larger PC tower, you will need to connect the mini PC to a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers for the full computing experience. And because these small computers take up just a few inches, you can mount yours under a desk or place it on a shelf.

Mini desktops are popular for business and enterprise applications because they also come with additional security and network management features, as well as high-performing processors. These small form factor PCs are also excellent for remote workers and employees who need a reliable PC option at home that's on par with what's offered at the office.

Best mini PC features offered today

Getting a business workstation that fits your budget can be a challenge, but most HP mini PCs strike an incredible balance of features and price. In fact, their value makes them a leading choice for cost-conscious work teams where everyone needs the same tech. While the small package certainly earns praise, there's much more to these mini PCs than meets the eye.

The exact technical specifications vary by model, but let's look at the overall highlights.

1. Energy efficient

These tiny machines make good use of power consumption. Many HP models are EPEAT® registered and ENERGY STAR® certified, so you can feel good knowing they're easier on your electric bill and the planet.

2. Excellent performance

While you could certainly use these devices for play, they're ideal for serious businesses, with specs for handling multiple processes and the latest Windows-based applications. Choose between the Windows 11 operating system or the Windows 10 OS.

Other perks include:

• Up to 512GB solid-state drive storage or 1TB hard drive storage

• 64GB of RAM

• A variety of Intel® chips, including Intel Core™ i5, i7, and i9 (or similar AMD Ryzen™ processors)

• Integrated Intel graphics or NVIDIA® and AMD discrete graphics

3. Secure

While the security features on each affordable mini PC vary, they typically include upgraded wireless networking tools and the HP Manageability Integration Kit to make hardware, BIO, and security maintenance a breeze.

The HP Sure Sense protection against malware and viruses is powered by AI, so it gets smarter over time and thwarts new threats as they happen. Even web browsing is more secure than ever, and each HP Wolf Pro Security Edition PC is equipped with 1-year or 3-year HP Support user licenses for ongoing IT management and support.

4. Expandable

Like other desktop PCs, these computers allow you to connect your best accessories and peripherals, whether it's secure external storage or a 4K monitor. For those looking forward to some PC gaming, you'll love the generous number of ports. Some models include an HDMI port or DisplayPort slots, USB ports (including a USB-C port), ethernet ports, and a place for your headphone and microphone. We designed these Windows mini PCs to give you the freedom to work the way you want, anywhere you want.

Some options come with a bundled keyboard and mouse, making it easier to get up and get working right out of the box. Just add your choice of display at checkout.

5. Portable

These versatile desktops are so small that you can take them with you anywhere you go. It's possible to transport your entire business workstation in your briefcase or bag, then mount it onto a shelf or desk when you return to the office. Durable design and space-saving features make mini PCs one of the better ways to make sure you have enterprise-level security and performance when a laptop just won't do.
