Due to the discouraging lack of supply for a
thin mini PC (CPU, mobo, small FHD monitor), I backed off, and revised my plan:
- My need is a PC, small and durable, for long term regular use and easy moving. This includes the monitor.
- Portability was not a priority in the plan. Now, I say it is nice to have.
- I adopted the idea of fanless PC because I liked having a fully solid device (pure electronics, no moving parts). Now, I see reasons to abandon it: It is heavy, and heat inside it will cause faster deterioration, especially in hot climates. (Components are designed with the expectation of at least some airflow across them.)
- FHD Monitors don't come smaller than 19.5". They're big and heavy (as they need a stand).
So I cancelled the idea, and now looking for a notebook.
A notebook is probably the most brilliant human achievement. It combines all the components in a small, light, portable unit, which has become powerful and affordable.
I'll simply add a mouse, a keyboard, and a notebook desk, to raise it to eye level.
Life is too short.
