You should of course keep in mind that what we are going to talk about today is a full mini PC (not a barebone, and therefore you don’t have to add any disk or RAM memory), but you will need some ” at least one monitor and its corresponding peripherals to be able to use it.

The computer also has a built-in micro SD card reader.
