Computers come in all shapes and sizes. Some are big, some are small and some are pocket-sized. All of them have their own pros and cons. However, in some places, there may be special constraints and that is when mini PC comes into play. In small areas, All in One PC are also a great alternative but those come with a screen from the start so there are fewer options in that department. Therefore mini PC have openness in monitor options. Nepalese users also buy mini PC for their homes, schools, colleges, and offices. So here is a list of Mini PC price in Nepal from various manufacturers.
These days computers are getting more powerful with each passing day. Likewise, Mini PCs are also getting more powerful, more efficient, and smaller every generation. Size and power efficiency are key factors after the performance of a mini PC, so companies are focusing on them. These small computers do work like a normal desktop computer but take less electricity and produce less heat. They are portable and can be taken to different places with ease.
Usually, there are small box-shaped mini PC available in the market with various I/O but no display. So, many users put those mini PC or compute boxes at the back of the monitor to save space. We can see such implementation in offices, schools, and colleges. Next, there are systems that look like a tower but are smaller and thinner. Those are usually placed in either vertical or horizontal directions.
Almost all the mini PC in the market come with power input, USB ports, HDMI output, LAN, and sound output via a 3.5mm jack. Some models also come with a serial port and a display port while some may not even have LAN and just have WiFi. So there can be differences among the models. These small box-type Mini PC need a separate monitor. Therefore users have the freedom to choose monitor size, quality, brand, and resolution according to to wish or need. This is a big plus compared to AIO. Thus users can adjust their purchases according to the budget and space they have.
If we compare these mini PC to full size desktop computers, then there can be big differences. At first mini PC have very less upgrade options because we can’t add graphics cards, PCIe cards, and other peripherals. So future upgrade path is hard. Compared to a normal custom-built PC, a mini PC from a certain brand has parts according to the manufacturer, so the option to customize is also less. There are trade-offs in everything. But above all, we should consider the fact that a mini PC is made for power efficiency and size. Those things are obtained in a mini PC without compromising power if we choose the correct hardware.

Wrap Up
The computer world is very big and the options of systems are also very big. We can choose to use a massive server, powerful workstation, HEDT, desktop, laptop, AIO, or mini PC. Every type of computer has its own pros and cons. They also have their own price and use case scenarios. In our view, a mini PC is best for schools and offices where power isn’t needed much and space is a constraint. The next big clause is if you really need the freedom to choose to monitor and upgrade things like RAM and storage with ease, a mini PC is the way to go.
The smaller mini PCs that are VESA mount compatible can save a lot of the same and on top of that many models are fanless which means there is less noise. Here, we have tried to gather information on various models available in the Nepali market. Some are new and some are old. So you can choose from them. Else if you want to import or get a new model it is better to talk with the distributors of each company. In the case of MSI, contact Ocean Computer, and in the case of Asus, contact Nagmani. Then finally for Intel NUC, it looks like Big Byte is the go-to distributor.
