Mini PC

A mini PC delivers the full power of a desktop computer in a device that fits in the palm of your hand. These compact systems —also known as mini computers, barebones, or NUCs— have evolved into real alternatives to traditional tower PCs for offices, digital signage, HTPC setups, and environments where space is critical.

At Ibertrónica, we offer more than 80 mini PC models from leading brands such as Asus NUC, Gigabyte BRIX, Asrock, Acer Veriton, and Intel. From entry-level systems for browsing and office tasks to mini PCs powered by Intel Core Ultra 9 processors capable of handling professional workloads. All models can be customized with the RAM and storage capacity you need.

What Is a Mini PC and How Is It Different from a Barebone?

A mini PC is a fully functional computer in a reduced-size chassis —typically under 2 liters in volume— integrating processor, connectivity, and graphics in a compact enclosure.

Depending on how it is sold, you will find two main formats:

• Complete Mini PC: ready to use with processor, RAM, SSD storage, and pre-installed operating system. Just connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
• Barebone or Kit: includes chassis, motherboard, and integrated processor, but no RAM or storage. You choose the components based on your needs and budget. This is the preferred option for advanced users and businesses standardizing configurations.

In our catalog, you will find both ready-to-use mini PCs and configurable barebone systems where you select exactly the RAM and SSD you require.

Types of Mini PCs by Use Case

Not all mini PCs are the same. Depending on the processor and specifications, each model is optimized for a specific type of workload:

Mini PC for Office and Productivity

Systems powered by Intel N-series processors (N97, N100, N150, N200, N250) or Intel Celeron are ideal for office applications, web browsing, email, and lightweight software. They consume very little power, operate quietly, and offer cost-effective performance.

• Perfect for administrative workstations.
• Ideal for desks with limited space.
• Low power consumption and minimal heat output.

Mini PCs for HTPC and Media Center

If you need a compact system for your living room, mini PCs with Intel N-series processors or Android TV boxes provide smooth 4K multimedia playback, streaming, and access to platforms such as Netflix or Prime Video. Their discreet and silent design makes them ideal for integration next to your TV.

High-Performance Professional Mini PCs

For more demanding tasks —virtualization, software development, light graphic design, or edge computing— you need mini PCs equipped with Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Core Ultra processors.

• Performance comparable to traditional desktops.
• Support for multiple monitors.
• VESA mounting compatibility for installation behind displays.

Mini PC Gaming and Compact Workstations

The most powerful models feature Intel Core Ultra 7 and Core Ultra 9 processors with advanced integrated graphics. While they do not replace a dedicated gaming PC with a discrete GPU, they allow casual gaming and video editing or CAD workloads in an ultra-compact format.

Main Mini PC Brands in Our Catalog

• Asus NUC: market reference brand after acquiring the NUC division. Excellent performance-to-size ratio.
• Gigabyte BRIX: fanless models and strong connectivity. Ideal for silent environments.
• Asrock: mini PCs and barebones offering great value for money.
• Acer Veriton: business-oriented systems with advanced management options.
• Intel NUC: established models with proven reliability and performance.

How Much Does a Mini PC Cost?

The price of a mini computer varies depending on the processor, configuration, and format (barebone or complete system).

• Entry Level: Intel N97, N100, or Celeron. Ideal for office tasks and browsing.
• Mid Range: Intel N150, N200, N250, or Core i3. Designed for light multitasking.
• Professional: Intel Core i5 or i7. Suitable for development and design.
• High Performance: Intel Core Ultra 5/7/9. Focused on compact workstations and edge AI.

Keep in mind that barebone systems have a lower base price because they do not include RAM or SSD, allowing full customization.

Advantages of Choosing a Mini PC Over a Tower Desktop

• Space Saving: occupies less than 2 liters and can be mounted behind a monitor.
• Lower Energy Consumption: reduced electricity costs and heat generation.
• Quiet Operation: fanless models or low-noise cooling solutions.
• Easy Deployment: ideal for offices and business environments.
• Full Connectivity: USB, USB-C/Thunderbolt, HDMI, DisplayPort, Ethernet, WiFi, and Bluetooth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mini PCs

Can I Use a Mini PC as My Main Work Computer?

Yes, as long as you choose the right processor. A mini PC with an Intel Core i5 or higher provides enough performance for advanced office work and productivity. For more demanding tasks, choose Core i7 or Core Ultra models.

Can Mini PCs Be Upgraded?

Most models allow RAM upgrades and SSD replacement. However, the processor is usually soldered and cannot be replaced, so selecting the right base model is important.

Which Mini PC Is Best for Digital Signage?

For digital signage, we recommend fanless models with Intel N-series processors. They offer low power consumption, 24/7 reliability, and stable 4K playback.
