Is this a Mini-PC, All-in-One PC, or a laptop?
Miniproca PC has a unique design for a compact PC.
Think Mini-PC but with a large 7-inch built-in screen. The screen can be used like in a normal laptop; it has touch input and can serve as a primary screen. This isn’t the same idea as the Minisforum AtomMan X7 Ti , which uses a tiny 4-inch touch screen solely for widgets and device controls. This screen can actually display Windows and can do so in 4K.
So, what is the Miniproca PC? It’s a Mini-PC (measuring 175 x 137 x 55mm) with a built-in screen that can be used as a primary or secondary monitor. Nearly all marketing materials focus on it being a secondary screen rather than using it as a primary monitor. At that point, one would be better off buying a laptop, which also has a battery.

The PC is powered by the Ryzen 9 6900HX, AMD’s last-gen architecture equipped with 8 Zen3+ cores and Radeon 680M graphics. The PC can use 8GB to 32GB of memory and up to 2TB of storage.

The design is unusual, but it may find its niche among multi-monitor users. The only issue is the pricing. The PC will go on sale at $699 during its early bird crowdfunding period and will launch at $1,259 through retail. That’s just for the cheapest model, though, with the fully configured version with maximum storage and memory options priced at $1,999. That’s an absurd price and highly unlikely to be successful.
