Key differences
-
The Thinvent Treo and Aero both have a 2 TB SSD maximum, and the g1 pro's storage ceiling is 8 TB with dual M.2 slots. Thinvent does not offer more than 2 TB of SSD storage in these lines.
-
The Thinvent Treo and Aero are built with an AMD Ryzen 5 7430U processor, which has 6 cores. The g1 pro's Ryzen 9 8945HX has 16 cores and 32 threads, so it has more processing power for heavy multi-threaded work.
-
The Thinvent Treo and Aero both include a VESA mount and an aluminium housing, and they run from a 19V adapter with an operating range of 0°C to 40°C.
-
The Thinvent Treo and Aero are available with Windows 11 Pro, Windows 11 IoT Value, Ubuntu Linux, Thinux™ Embedded Linux, or no operating system, so buyers can choose their own software stack.
-
The g1 pro lists Wi-Fi 7 and 5Gb Ethernet, while the Thinvent Treo and Aero use Wi-Fi 5 and 1000 Mbps Ethernet. The g1 pro is the stronger choice for the fastest wireless and wired networking.
-
The g1 pro's processor and maximum RAM (96 GB) are higher than the Thinvent alternatives' limits (64 GB), so the g1 pro leads on raw performance and memory ceiling.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the g1 pro if you need the highest processing power, the largest memory ceiling, or the fastest networking. Choose a Thinvent Treo or Aero if you want a compact AMD Ryzen 5 mini PC with up to 64 GB of RAM, up to 2 TB of SSD storage, and a choice of operating system, including Linux and embedded options.
