Chinese translation:精简型PC / 精简型个人电脑
Explanation:
“Shrinking PC”有时确实是指体积越来越小的电脑。但是这里讲的是 “thin-client PC”,就是说,客户机一端比较简单轻捷,服务器一端则复杂而强大,客户通过网络共享服务器的软硬资源。所以,这里的问题无关体积,而是关于硬件设置。人们通常所说的网络电脑,实际上就是一种“精简型个人电脑”。

现在很多人使用的电脑,功能过于强大,从来都没有充分发挥作用,是很大的浪费。

只是说做得越来越小,并无简易,精简之意, 这两个词容易被误解成功能少了,用途窄了等。

建议:

精巧型电脑,灵便型电脑
