4 Linux Based Mini PC You Can Buy In 2015
================================================================================
![](http://itsfoss.itsfoss.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Linux_Based_Mini_PC.jpg)
Mini PCs, in my opinion, will takeover the traditional desktop computers in near future. Traditional desktop has a bulky CPU which takes a lot of space with its fan running like a blower. The mini PCs, on the other hand, are tiny and compact. With hardly 4″ or 5″ in size, they can be easily placed on a table.
Moreover, these mini PCs are fanless which is an added virtue. Of course, you can buy fanless regular desktops but the space consumption is still an issue. Personally, I find the mini PC cute in looks. If you are not a gamer and thinking of buying a new desktop PC, Ill highly recommend you to **buy a Linux based mini PC**.
If you go by my recommendation and consider buying it, you might wonder what options do you have. Worry not. In this post we shall see four **Linux based Mini PC that you can buy in 2015**.

### Whats your pick? ###
I have deliberately not included [Raspberry Pi 2][8] or other Linux microcomputer such as [Intels Compute Stick][9]. The reason is that I do not think that micro-computers fall in the same categories as mini PCs.
What do you think? Are you tempted to replace your desktop with a mini PC? Is there another player which I missed in this list of **best Linux based mini PCs**? Do share your views.

2015你可以买的一款基于Linux的迷你PC
================================================================================
![](http://itsfoss.itsfoss.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Linux_Based_Mini_PC.jpg)
在我看来迷你PC将在不久的将来会替代传统桌面电脑。传统桌面的有一个像送风机那样占据大量空间的风扇。迷你PC在另一方面说很小巧和紧凑。通常是4″或者5″大小可以轻易地放在桌子上。
不仅如此这些迷你PC的无风扇设计是一个好处。当然你可以购买无风扇的常规电脑但是空间占用仍然是一个问题。对我个人来说我觉得迷你PC外观上看着很可爱。如果你不是一个游戏玩家也不想买新的桌面PC我强烈建议你**购买一个基于Linux的迷你PC**。
如果你考虑我的建议买一个,那么你或许想知道该买哪款。不要担心,这篇文章我们会介绍**四款你可以在2015购买的基于Linux的迷你PC**。

我故意没有介绍[Raspberry Pi 2][8]或者其他Linux微电脑如[Intel的电脑棒][9]。原因是我不认为这些微电脑属于迷你PC的范畴。
你怎么看你想用迷你PC代替你的桌面PC么是不是还有我没有在**最好的基于Linux的迷你PC**列出的PC分享你们的观点吧。
