The Minix Mini PC series will include several configuration options with a range of devices suited to industrial and commercial applications, all offering a small form factor design and featuring Intel processors, various display output options and VESA mounting support. In addition to the Mini PCs, the company will launch an Android-powered TV box too.

Other connectivity options of the Neo G41V-4 include 2 x USB 3.0 ports, 2 x USB 2.0 ports, a TF card slot and 3.5 mm audio jack on the front, with the display ports and Gigabit Ethernet located on the rear.
