Hands-on review: CES 2015: HP Pavilion Mini

The small-footprint desktop computer market features a wide range of affordable options. At the better end of the spectrum you’ll find the Apple Mac Mini (starting at $499, £399 and AU$620), a small, quiet and energy efficient desktop. At the bottom end there are options like the Samsung Chromebox (starting at $329, £279 and AU$409), a solid desktop option if all you want to do is browse the web.

In the middle you’ll find HP’s new Pavilion Mini (starting at $319.99, £212 and AU$400) a sleek and lightweight desktop that has a ton of storage space, but only includes an Intel Core i3 processor.

If your goal is to store all your data on a gorgeous desktop, but you’re not focused on heavy-duty video editing or spreadsheeting, this is a solid option for you.

Specs

The Pavilion Mini is 2.06 inches tall and weighs just 1.6 lbs. It runs Windows 8.1, stores up to 1TB of data and provides 8GB of expandable memory. It features a DisplayPort and an HDMI out port that are capable of streaming Quad HD resolution video. Sorry 4K enthusiasts.
