What Is the Latest Generation of Desktop?
The latest generation of desktop computing centres on compact, low-power systems that run applications from a central server or local storage. Thin clients and mini PCs are the current form factor for many business desktops. They use fewer components than a traditional tower PC, produce less heat, and draw less power. Thinvent's current desktop range is built on Intel processors, with a 7th generation Intel Celeron J1900 in the Neo S thin client series.
