Which POS system is better for your business?

The POS system gives you better control over the entire business operation. With the help of a POS system, you know which items you have sold on a daily or monthly basis, how many products are in the warehouse, and how much money you have made. Also, the POS system helps you to keep a better plan for tracking your inventory, analyzing stocks, reports, sales processes, and upcoming demands. In this way, it increases your business efficiency and helps you make more informed business decisions.

With so many point-of-sale systems on the market, choosing the right one for your business is a big task. For choosing the best point-of-sale (POS) system, it’s important to understand what sorts of tools you need for your business to run and grow. Important factors when choosing a POS system:

1. Initial setup cost
2. Payment processing costs and other processing charges
3. POS software price
4. PCI compliance, such as how you process payments, connect your systems, and manage customers’ data securely
5. Ability to store customer data safely
6. Ability to manage inventory management
7. Customer loyalty programs and invoices

Should I get a mini PC or big PC with the same specs?

Make sure they actually have the same specs. Quite often, the actual hard drive or RAM that is put into them will differ quite a bit. You also want to make sure that they have the same “multimedia inputs”, wifi, bluetooth, all of this factors into the price and for some reason, the small PCs have it while the bigger ones don’t.

If you have the space for it, I would just get a bigger PC. It makes it significantly easier to upgrade as you don’t have to think of fitting the new component into the case. It will probably fit.

If you want it to look nice and neat on your desk, then a small PC is better.

Finally, all of this is dependent on the quality of the case. Cases get quite pricey and if you tend to open your computer, that can make a big difference for you.

The small PC for some reason will also (typically) cost more.

What are the disadvantages of a mini PC for a business?

Assuming you mean a USSF or smaller.

There are not many actually, which is why so many are used in business environments.

Others have mentioned the lack of expand ability - so you really need to know WHAT you need when you go out to buy one, as there is little or no scope to add anything afterwards.

If you want to upgrade the graphics, you will have to hope it works with an GPU.

In my mind, for pure business use, you have to carefully consider what CPU to go for; not just for longevity; but because the bigger cpus draw more power and create more heat, so the fans have to work hard to keep it going.

And the fans in these cases have to be small - and that means very noisy when their speed is raped up.

You CAN get small, efficient and quiet Noctua fans, but I don’t know of a system builder using them - they aren’t cheap - and retro fitting isn’t always possible.

There are many mini PCs coming in from China that are basically laptops with no screen, they tend to be a lot quieter, but remember the CPU inside are “m” versions, so are a computationally a lot less powerful than the desktop versions, and so may run out of steam in a couple of years, due to software bloat.

Pick the right one, and it will do the job you want for 10+ years; pick the wrong one and you will be looking to replace it in 2 years.

What is the best mini PC for programming?

The best mini PC for programming is one that ticks all the boxes you care about. Here are some points to consider:

Twice the memory working set so it doesn’t have to swap, and has some over for buffering (I have 32GB) — allow for operating systems and applications to double in size each 3 years;

 SSD for primary disk, HDD for archive / backup;

Best CPU you can afford — if you spend more than 1 second waiting for the computer to respond. Basically you want enough CPU power and cores so it can run your IDE and two copies of the application (development example and auto testing in background);

Enough displays so one display can be your IDE, one can be what the customer normally sees, and optionally a third for reference material; 

[I run two HD screens off the laptop]

Portable if you work in multiple places [I picked the Toshiba Satellite P870 because I wanted 32GB of memory, two disks, and a 17″ screen about the same pixels per inch as the screens I was going to also connect]

A decent keyboard and mouse — I personally use a Logitech K800 keyboard and Performance MX mouse, and take at least the mouse, sometimes the keyboard when I go onsite. Pick what is your own personal preference, and if necessary adjust the sensitivity of the mouse.

 Pick the operating system that you like best for the work you are doing (I prefer Ubuntu LTS linux, and run windows in virtual machines as needed);

[Edited to add peripherals and OpSys at Alex’s suggestion]

The only downsides of having a system that is more powerful that some production systems, are a) that you are much less aware of any accidental inefficiencies and b) with 32Gb of memory my system takes longer to come out of hibernation than it does to boot cold (on linux) because hibernation is a full memory copy, whilst boot isn’t.

What is the main thing to look for in a host?

The cloud computing era, web hosting as a product of cloud computing, because of the price of cheap, simple to use by many individuals and enterprises love renting web hosting more and more people. The Internet technology continues to develop, the demand for web hosting is also growing, many of the users who have not used web hosting white also began to learn how to use, learn web hosting, the first from the purchase of web hosting. So what aspects should a newcomer to renting a web host pay attention to?

1, the speed of web hosting

The speed of access to the web host will directly affect the future use of the problem, so we will be the first to pay attention to the speed of the problem. Generally speaking, the web hosting provider can provide the relevant IP for testing, we can ping, the delay of about 60ms is normal, if the overseas will reach about 200ms. After the test, we can also look at the speed of access to different IPs, to see how fast different lines of access, telecommunications and Netcom can access each other this is also very important for user experience. 

2, the stability of the web host 

If we use web hosting as a web space, then the stability of the host will directly affect the site, for user access and site optimization have a certain impact on the weight of the site will also decline. The actual web site is a great way to get the most out of your web site.

3, web hosting program environment

The web host's program environment if inconsistent with the website program will be hindered in its use, so we should pay attention to the host's program environment, the website construction program is mainly ASP and PHP, the database is divided into MYSQL and MSSQL. many newcomers do not know how to choose when choosing the program language to support. However, many hosting service providers offer web hosts that mostly support ASP and PHP. for example, windows system hosts support HTML/ASP/.Net2.0/PHP/etc. environments. 

4, web hosting technical services

Most novice webmasters are unfamiliar with the management of web hosting, and there will be various problems that they cannot solve by themselves. Therefore, it is particularly important to choose a hosting service provider with good technical service support. Try to choose some of the more well-known domestic, good reputation of the host service providers, with a professional technical team and industry experience. 

5, the actual use of web hosting

When choosing a web host to rent, we will have different configurations of hosts to choose from, which need to consider the actual use of your website to choose. If we want to set up a personal website, a personal website is usually just because of personal interest, the general demand is to publish blog posts, interact with fans, and personal style display, etc. The website budget is not much, so we are usually more concerned about the price and features of the host. If we want to set up a corporate website, corporate websites are generally designed to promote products and services, aiming to increase corporate awareness, expand their reach, attract customers or sell goods online, etc. Then we are more concerned about the performance of the web host, access speed, technical support, etc. 

The web host needs to pay attention to the aspects of renting or more, mainly according to their actual use of the situation, so that you can choose the right host.

 

 

Advantages of mini-PC

MiniPC, also known as mini computer, cloud terminal, is a computer host with small size, low power consumption, ultra-quiet, strong performance, stylish and beautiful appearance, and the mini host has the basic attributes and performance of traditional desktop hosts. These follow aspects are the advantages of mini-pc that I want to tell you..

(1) Small and portable

Smallness is the biggest feature of mini pc. Its volume is generally 1/30 of the volume of traditional desktop hosts, which is equivalent to the thickness of a 130-page book, and its length and width are as large as A5 paper. It is very convenient to carry, and can even be directly put in the pocket of the trousers and can be taken anywhere, bringing greater convenience to work and life.

(2) Save space resources

The compact size of the mini-pc can stand, and can be fixed on a hanger. It can be placed in any small corner of the table at will, or can be fixed behind a monitor or TV screen with a special hanger, freeing up more space for the current office or home life. Space resources, but also a clean and tidy space on the desktop.

(3) Fashionable and beautiful

The old-fashioned shape of most traditional large desktop consoles can no longer meet the aesthetic needs of modern people, while the stylish design of mini consoles, coupled with small and exquisite, is very artistic, whether it is placed on the desk, living room or study room. Life and work lead to a more pleasant experience.

(4) Low power consumption, energy saving and power saving

The mini-pc adopts a low-power processor, and the thermal design power consumption TDP is generally around 10W-17W, while the average power consumption of the traditional large desktop host is 100W~150W, which is 10 times or more than the power consumption of the mini-pc.

(5) Quiet and environmental protection

The rumbling noise of traditional large desktops has seriously affected the experience of computer workers, game players and home life. In this living space where pollution sources are everywhere, people can no longer afford more pollution. Due to the fanless heat dissipation design of the mini-host, the whole machine can achieve zero noise during operation, which brings a quiet experience to work and life, and has been loved by people.

(6) Strong performance

The performance of mini pc has played an important role in our life. After several years of exploration and accumulation, most mini pc can meet the basic needs of 70% of users for office, entertainment, industrial control, display and playback. Although most mini pc are still designed with integrated display, However, some mini pc with high-profile independent graphics are not inferior in overall performance, such as the BVS TN6A J3355 mini-host.

(7) Safe and stable

Due to the small size, high integration of the main board, and very compact design layout of component chips, most mini pc can run stably for a long time, and it is not easy to affect the operation or interruption of the whole machine due to individual hardware problems, or even damage the whole machine. However, the traditional large desktop host is prone to compatibility or instability of individual components, which affects the operation of the whole machine due to the large number of various hardware stacks.

(8) Easy to update and maintain

The mini-pct is small and portable, and it is very convenient in terms of software update or hardware update. If you need to expand the memory and hard disk, you only need to open the cover of the mini-pc with a screwdriver. If there is a problem with the host and needs to be repaired, girls, children, and the elderly can easily take it out to the store or send it back to the manufacturer for repair.

(9) High cost performance

In addition to the high prices of Intel's own mini PCs, the prices of other brands of mini pc are very close to the people, generally within 1,000 to 3,000 yuan, and the price of a higher configuration is generally not more than 5,000 yuan, which to a certain extent Frees up a lot of pre-selection space for DIY users.
