MINI COMPUTERS OR WORKSTATIONS?

Do you like to save money?

Let’s talk bottom line.  As a guy who is a technician at heart, I want you (my customer) to have THE BEST experience possible at work.  I want you to work efficiently.  I want to decrease downtime.  I want to boost your productivity.  But as a purchasing decision-maker at your company, having the latest and greatest endpoints may not be in the cards. 

The cost of hardware has been decreasing dramatically; especially over the past 10 years.  We have all seen this phenomenon play out.  There is a class of PC that has been gaining steam recently, which brings your potential price point even lower.  Enter, the mini-PC. 

Word to the wise: this class of PC is not meant for critical functionaries. It is not for your marketing and accounting department.  Your CEO will kill you if you put this on his or her desk.  It is appropriate for Kiosk and front desk staff who perform non-resource-intensive work, mostly in the cloud.  That is the best way I can define the use case for these machines. 

With a starting price of $100-$300, these machines are cheap, easy to replace, and space saving devices which can decrease the cost of pre-configuration and replacement; and nearly eliminate the shipping cost to satellite locations.  The super-low price point enables you to stock up on extra inventory in case of outage.  They are easy to image, and they usually come preloaded with Win 10.
