What is a Desktop Complete Set?
A Desktop Complete Set from Thinvent refers to a fully integrated, ready-to-deploy industrial computing solution. It is not merely a traditional desktop tower but a compact, robust system designed for specific operational environments. These sets typically include the core computing unit (a mini PC, thin client, or industrial PC), a pre-installed operating system (such as Windows IoT, Ubuntu Linux, or Thinvent's proprietary Thinux™), and essential connectivity. They are engineered to provide a complete, out-of-the-box computing experience for business and industrial applications, eliminating the need for complex assembly and configuration.
Key Specifications and Technical Details
The core of these sets is defined by their processing power, memory, storage, and form factor. Thinvent's range spans from ultra-efficient ARM-based systems to high-performance Intel Core platforms.
- Processors: Options include energy-efficient ARM Cortex cores (A53, A55) for basic tasks and Intel processors ranging from the entry-level N-series (e.g., N100) to powerful Core i3, i5, and i5 P-series (e.g., i5-1250P) and the latest 14th Gen Core 5.
- Memory & Storage: Configurations vary from 2GB RAM with 16GB eMMC for lightweight thin clients to 16GB DDR4 RAM with 512GB SSD for demanding applications.
- Form Factors: The portfolio includes fanless Micro thin clients, compact Treo and Aero mini PCs, and ruggedized Industrial PC (IPC) models built for harsh conditions.
- Operating Systems: Systems come with a choice of OS, including Windows 11 Pro/IoT, Ubuntu Linux, or Thinux™, optimized for stability and security in embedded scenarios.
Use Cases and Applications
Desktop Complete Sets are tailored for environments where reliability, space efficiency, and minimal maintenance are critical. * Digital Signage & Kiosks: Micro and Treo models are ideal for driving displays in retail, hospitality, and public information points. * Industrial Automation & Control: IPC series computers, with their robust build and support for Linux/Windows IoT, are perfect for factory floor HMIs, machine control, and data acquisition. * Thin Client & VDI Environments: The Micro series, with its low-power ARM architecture, serves as an excellent endpoint for virtual desktop infrastructure, providing secure access to centralized resources. * Office Productivity & General Computing: Aero and Treo mini PCs with Core i3/i5 processors and Windows 11 Pro offer a powerful, space-saving alternative to traditional desktops for professional workspaces.
