Can I run MATLAB on a Mini PC?

Yes, you can run MATLAB on a mini PC, but it is important to choose the right one. MATLAB is a demanding software application, so you will need a mini PC with a powerful processor, plenty of RAM, and a fast storage drive.

Here are some of the minimum requirements for running MATLAB on a mini PC:

• Processor: Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5
• RAM: 8GB
• Storage: 500GB SSD
• Operating system: Windows 10 or 11, macOS 10.15 or later, or Linux

If you are planning on using MATLAB for complex tasks, such as running simulations or processing large datasets, you may need a mini PC with even more powerful hardware. For example, you may want a mini PC with an Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

Here are some of the best mini PCs for running MATLAB:

• Intel NUC11PAHi5
• Mini PC Beelink U59
• Chuwi LarkBox Pro
• Acer Chromebox CXI5
• Zotac ZBOX CI547N

When choosing a mini PC for MATLAB, it is also important to consider the following factors:

Graphics card: MATLAB can use a graphics card to accelerate certain tasks, such as rendering graphics and performing image processing. If you are planning on using MATLAB for these types of tasks, you will need a mini PC with a dedicated graphics card.

Ports: Make sure that the mini PC you choose has the ports you need to connect your external devices, such as a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and printer.

Price: Mini PCs can range in price from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand dollars. Choose a mini PC that fits your budget and needs.

If you are unsure whether a particular mini PC will be powerful enough to run MATLAB, you can check the MATLAB Hardware Compatibility List. This list includes a variety of mini PCs that have been tested and certified by MathWorks to run MATLAB.

Here are some tips for running MATLAB on a Mini PC:

• Make sure that your Mini PC is running the latest version of the operating system and MATLAB.
• Close any other applications that are not in use when you are running MATLAB.
• If you are running a complex simulation or processing a large dataset, consider using a cloud computing platform such as Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platform.
• Use a faster storage device, such as an SSD, to improve the loading times of MATLAB and your data.
• Upgrade the RAM in your Mini PC if necessary.

If you are still unsure whether or not a Mini PC is right for you, then you can contact MathWorks for more information.
