Many of us buy computers and gadgets with so many features that we do not need and barely use. Desktop computers today are getting faster and more powerful by the day, but the truth is many of us just need a simple desktop PC for checking our mails, surfing the web, word processing and listen to some music/watch videos. For that reason, many of the desktop models out there in the market are over-kills.

The Compaq 2009F desktop PC is a refreshing desktop model that provides all the basics for simple computing needs. It has a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive. Most importantly it comes with Windows XP, turning it into a speedy little computer despite its modest specs.

The Compaq 2009F desktop PC is a very compact little computer. It ships with a mouse and a keyboard. The CPU unit measures at just 4.4 x 10.7 x 9.2 inches, where it will easily slip into any small space. On the front, you will find the DVD drive, 2 USB ports and the audio jacks. The rest of the ports and connectors are located behind the CPU.

I was pleasantly surprised after testing the Compaq 2009F desktop PC for a couple of days. Its streamlined combination of specs and OS enabled it to run applications speedily. Multi tasking was also not a problem as we were able to run several light applications without a glitch. All in all, this is a wonderful little desktop PC that is easy on your pocket, yet a delight to use at the same time.

Answer by Nerd dude
There are really Only 2 differences the size and price. mini desktop cost more but take less space while normal desktops are cheaper and bigger. so if you don't care about space go with a big one. also if you want to upgrade a mini one later on it is impossible.

Answer by Greyolddave
The bestbuy page you provide seems to be gone. However, the mini's have no place to add another hard drive or cannot take a new game card you might want to try, or if you want to add a DVD recorder there is no room for it. Otherwise they work great.

Answer by 7af7
Four differences: power, size, upgradeability and capability. An average desktop uses much more power, but has much more capabilities and is therefore much more powerful, and is also relatively future proof as it is fully upgradeable, whereas a mini-desktop A.K.A. nettops are just netbooks with no screen and slightly better graphics capabilities and the only thing you can upgrade on these nettops is the RAM (to about 4GB max on most, 2GB for some older ones) and the hard drive. If you're planning on doing any graphical work on your PC, go with the normal desktop. If you just want use it as a media centre and do some casual web browsing, go with the nettop (mini-desktop).
