The THINPC Mini PC is a desktop PC developed with the aim of taking the top position of “portable productivity tools” from “notebook PCs”. If you bring it along with a portable keyboard and mouse to a remote work rental space equipped with a monitor, you can use it as a more productive tool than a laptop.
THINPC has started a crowdfunding project on Kickstarter for the commercialization of Mini PC.

For many years, laptops have reigned as the top portable productivity tool. It was equipped with an input device such as a keyboard and touchpad, an output device called a monitor, and a power supply called a battery. It has been thought that desktop PCs will not replace laptops when it comes to mobile use, even if there are disadvantages such as small monitors.
This situation is here and slowly changing. Desktop PCs, which used to be housed in gigantic cabinets full of useless gaps, have now become as compact as “smartphones without screens” and can be carried around. USB Type-C power supply is possible without a heavy AC adapter. Along with the appearance of rental spaces for remote work equipped with monitors, some people are adopting desktop PCs as “portable productivity tools.”
THINPC Mini PC is a product developed for the purpose of riding this trend. Length 117 x Width 90 x Thickness 30 mm, which is shorter and a little thicker than a smartphone. As mentioned above, wherever there is a monitor, you can use a portable keyboard and mouse to get the job done.
