A1Str8 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Gentlemen, My Q: Are mini PCs repairable? I am not speaking of upgrade, but in case anything goes wrong with the hardver, it seems to me, you cannot just buy parts, like you would with a desktop computer. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdd Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 You should tell us what your definition of "mini pc" is. As mentioned before, usually as repairable as any regular sized PC. If talking about something like an Intel NUC, then the the CPU is soldered on the motherboard, thus they can't be exchanged independently, but the other parts can.

bendejo Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) What do you mean by mini-PC? Perhaps provide the name of one as an example. What is a hardver? 7 hours ago, A1Str8 said: Thank you but I have no idea why you mentioned the storage. My question is unrelated.

It wasn't mentioned that it's as repairable. What I mean by mini is the only thing it can mean. Those other are midi, micro etc. I mean mini. As in a little box that fits into my palm.

A1Str8 Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Anyway to answer my question they are not very much repairable coz no store really carries the needed components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A PC based on a "mini ITX" motherboard could be referred to as "mini PC", usually every part in such a PC is replaceable. An Intel NUC fits on your palm, nearly every part in it can be replaced.
