-
Thinvent Treo Mini PCs provide up to 2 TB of local SSD storage; the HP t310 storage is not stated.
-
Thinvent Treo Mini PCs include full processors with up to 12 cores (Intel Core i5-1240P), giving local computing power beyond a zero client's remote-display role.
-
The HP t310 is built around dedicated PCoIP hardware decoding for remote desktops, a specialised role that a general-purpose mini PC does not replicate.
-
Thinvent Treo Mini PCs are available with or without dual band Wi-Fi, so wireless connectivity can be chosen to suit the installation.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the HP t310 Zero Client if your environment is a dedicated PCoIP remote desktop deployment with VMware Horizon or Amazon WorkSpaces and you want a purpose-built endpoint. Choose a Thinvent Treo Mini PC if you need a general-purpose system with local processing, larger memory and storage, and flexible wireless options.
