Definition:

Barebone system (commonly referred to as a barebone computer in English terminology) is a type of pre-configured computer hardware system in the field of computing. Below is a detailed explanation:

Hardware Composition:

It typically includes basic hardware components such as a chassis, motherboard, and power supply; some models may also come with a CPU cooler. However, components like memory (RAM), hard drive (HDD/SSD), graphics card (except for barebone systems with integrated graphics), and operating system need to be purchased and installed separately by the user based on their specific needs.

Application Scenarios:

Customized PC Building: It is an ideal choice for users who have a clear understanding of their needs, want to customize their computer configuration, and at the same time wish to save time on assembly and simplify the selection process for some hardware. For example, PC enthusiasts looking to build a computer for video editing can add high-performance memory, large-capacity hard drives, and professional graphics cards to the barebone system.

Specialized Devices: Barebone systems are also widely used in fields such as industrial control and commercial displays. Manufacturers can flexibly add corresponding components according to the functional requirements of specific devices to create dedicated computer systems that meet the needs of special working environments and tasks.
