HP Thin Client Manager vs Thinvent Thin Clients

HP Thin Client Manager is management software used with HP thin clients such as the HP t530, t550, t630 and Elite t660. Thinvent does not have a product named HP Thin Client Manager, so we could not confirm which HP thin client model or management software version the query refers to. The closest Thinvent alternative for a fanless thin client is the Thinvent Micro 5R, which uses the same Rockchip RK3528 processor family as ARM-based thin clients and runs Thinux Embedded Linux.
