There’s no shortage of small desktop computers at CES 2015. One of my personal favorites is the Acer Revo One, but HP may be giving it a run for its money with a couple of their own compact desktops – the HP Stream Mini and HP Pavilion Mini.
These little computers are actually pretty awesome. They are portable and very good-looking. Not to mention, they are also a very well-built machine that feel great in the hand. Their compact sizes also make them a perfect HTPC (Home Theater PC) for the living room.
HP Stream Mini
The HP Stream Mini’s specs include an Intel Celeron processor, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage, 4 USB 3.0 ports, bluetooth, WiFi and more. This is meant to be an affordable device for streaming and entertainment, so the specs are not breath-taking, but you can open up the device and make some upgrades.
Interested? Check out our video to learn more about it. You will be able to buy it starting January 14th for a price of only $179.99. Not bad at all, really!
HP Pavilion Mini
Now let’s take a look at the bigger brother. Well, it’s not really bigger, but it is definitely more powerful. This one comes with an Intel Pentium processor (supports up to Core i3), 4 GB of RAM and a 500 GB hard drive.
RAM can be upgraded up to 8 GB and internal storage can reach 1 TB. That could really become a very convenient machine, even for those who want to do more serious computing with it. Maybe you can even use it for some gaming!
Prices start at $329.99, and just like the HP Stream Mini, it launches on January 14th.
