Thin clients for mobile and fixed deployments
A mobile thin client is a compact client device that runs applications and desktops from a remote server or cloud. The device needs little local processing power, which makes it suitable for mobile carts, kiosks, classrooms and back-office work. The "MT43" query refers to a mobile thin client category. The Thinvent range in this category includes the Thinvent Neo S thin client, and this is the model family that matches the query.
