Mini PCs: Reshaping the Hardware Landscape - Different Shapes, Different Sizes

One thing that is sure for Mini PCs is that they come in several of shapes and sizes. Shuttle and some other producers deliver small factor cubic Mini PCs measuring 200x181x280mm or lesser. The illustration below shows an XPC Mini PC and a portable specially designed LCD monitor, both from Shuttle.

There are also Mini ITX machines taller than the cubics but are slimmer and smaller than a full-size ATX machine. There are also portable Mini PCs weighing less then 2 kg such as the Latte p4 from Saint Song. Few producers even fit Mini PCs into cars to go with dashboard DVD players and plasma screens, and measuring 120x120 mm.
