Mini PCs: How to Define Degrees of 'Small'Īs a result, we're seeing some clear stratification in the market for tiny desktop PCs. You need to leave some space for ports to plug in a thing or two. Nowadays, small-ification is getting to the point where you can't go all that much smaller.

But starting with the "small-form-factor" (SFF) PC revolution of the '00s, many desktops have gone from half-size towers to compact cubes to, in their most extreme reduction, sticks not a whole lot bigger than a USB flash drive.Ī big reason why? Graphics acceleration and other essential features, handled in the past by separate chips or bulky cards, have been subsumed under the CPU. Of course, it's still easy enough to find ordinary business boxes and hulking power towers packed with big video cards and multiple platter-based hard drives. Most of the acceleration toward super-small in desktop PCs has happened over the last decade. But fast-forward half a century or so, and-oh, micro, how you have changed!
