The Ncomputing RX300 is a thin client built on an ARM Cortex-A53 processor, with a maximum of 1 GB RAM and 16 GB storage. The closest Thinvent match is the Thinvent Micro 5R Thin Client, which uses the same ARM Cortex-A53 processor family and has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage in a fanless design. Thinvent also has a wider range of thin clients and mini PCs for buyers who need more memory or a different operating system.

Key differences
-
The Thinvent Micro 5R has up to 2 GB RAM, twice the 1 GB maximum of the RX300.
-
The Thinvent Micro 5R has a 2.0 GHz maximum clock speed. The RX300 runs at 1.2 GHz.
-
The Thinvent Micro 5R includes Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5. We could not confirm the RX300's wireless options.
-
The Thinvent Micro 5R is fanless with passive cooling and has an aluminium housing.
-
The RX300 is designed for NComputing's own vSpace Pro, VERDE VDI and Microsoft Remote Desktop Services environments. The Micro 5R ships with Thinux Embedded Linux, which includes RDP 10 for remote desktop sessions.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the Thinvent Micro 5R if you need more RAM, faster clock speeds or built-in Wi-Fi 6 in a fanless thin client running Linux. Choose the Ncomputing RX300 if your deployment is built around NComputing's vSpace Pro or VERDE platforms.
