Recommendations

Place the Tiny on a stable surface or mount it behind a compatible Tiny-in-One display to save desk space. For sustained heavy workloads, ensure adequate ventilation around the chassis and consider using 64 GB RAM and a high-capacity NVMe drive to maximise performance. Keep firmware and drivers up to date and use the TPM 2.0 and Kensington lock for improved device security.
