What is a mini thin client?
A mini thin client is a small, fanless computer that runs applications and desktops from a central server or cloud host. It has a compact body, low power draw, and few moving parts. Most of the work happens on the server, so the device only needs enough processing power to display the session and handle local input.
Key specifications
The Thinvent Neo S thin client uses an Intel processor N100 with 4 cores, a maximum frequency of 3.4 GHz, and 6 MB of cache. It includes 16GB of DDR4 RAM and a 128GB SSD. The unit runs from a 12V 10A adapter. Each configuration in this series has no WiFi, so it connects over wired Ethernet.

Operating system options
The Neo S is sold with several operating systems. Choose Windows 11 IoT or Windows 11 Pro for Windows-based environments. Choose DOS for legacy software. Choose Thinux Embedded Linux or Ubuntu Linux for Linux-based deployments. Keyboard and mouse sets are available as an add-on for most configurations.
Use cases
Mini thin clients suit offices, call centres, retail points of sale, reception desks, kiosks, classrooms, and remote desktop deployments. Their small size fits behind a monitor or under a desk. Because they have no fan, they make little noise and need less dust control than full desktop PCs.
