The Igel UD Pocket is a small USB device that boots Igel OS on a host x86-64 computer without changing that computer's internal storage. The facts available to us do not include its processor, RAM, storage or price, so a direct spec-for-spec match is not possible here. Thinvent offers compact Mini PCs with fixed hardware and built-in storage, which suit buyers who want a dedicated desktop unit for business or industrial use. The closest Thinvent alternative is the Treo Mini PC family.
