The Itona Vxl is a thin client from VXL that uses an Intel Celeron processor with 4 cores and can drive 2 displays. The closest Thinvent alternative is the Thinvent Neo S Thin Client, which also uses a 4-core Intel Celeron-class processor (Intel J1900) and is a fanless thin client.

Key differences
-
The Thinvent Neo S uses the same Intel processor family as the Itona Vxl (Celeron class, 4 cores) and has up to 8 GB RAM and up to 256 GB SSD, where we could not confirm the Itona Vxl's memory and storage.
-
The Thinvent Neo S lets the buyer choose Windows 11 Pro, Windows 11 IoT, Ubuntu Linux or Thinux™ Embedded Linux, while the Itona Vxl runs Windows CE.
-
The Thinvent Neo S is fanless, uses passive cooling, and includes 4 USB 2.0 ports, 1 USB 3.0 port, 2 serial ports and a parallel port.
-
The Itona Vxl can drive 2 displays. The Thinvent Neo S supports 1 HDMI and 1 VGA display, and the Thinvent Micro 5R supports 1 HDMI 2.0 display.
-
The Thinvent Micro 5R is a compact, fanless ARM-based thin client with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5, which the Itona Vxl does not offer in the facts we have.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the Thinvent Neo S if you want an Intel Celeron-class thin client with a choice of Windows or Linux operating systems and legacy serial and parallel ports. Choose the Thinvent Micro 5R if you need a compact, low-power thin client with wireless connectivity running Thinux™ Embedded Linux.
