IGEL OS 11 is a Linux-based operating system for x86 endpoints, and IGEL publishes a list of devices it has tested for it. The general requirements are a standard 64-bit x86-compatible processor, at least 2 GB RAM, USB boot support, and sufficient storage: IGEL OS 11.04 and higher requires at least 2.4 GB if the full feature set is applied, and the feature set can be reduced for devices with small storage. Thinvent's Treo Mini PC range is a strong fit for the 64-bit x86 requirement, and the closest match in the candidate lineup is the Treo Mini PC with Intel Core i5-1240P or AMD Ryzen 5 7430U.
