The NComputing RX300 is a thin client with an ARM Cortex-A53 processor, 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage, designed for NComputing's vSpace Pro, VERDE VDI and Microsoft Remote Desktop Services environments. The closest Thinvent alternative is the Thinvent Micro 5R Thin Client, which also uses an ARM Cortex-A53 processor and has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage. Both are compact thin clients built for remote desktop access.

Key differences
-
The Thinvent Micro 5R has 2 GB of RAM, twice the 1 GB maximum of the RX300.
-
The Thinvent Micro 5R uses the same ARM Cortex-A53 processor family as the RX300.
-
The Thinvent Micro 5R is fanless, with passive cooling and an aluminium housing.
-
The Thinvent Micro 5R includes Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5, and runs Thinux™ Embedded Linux with RDP 10 support for remote display.
-
We could not confirm the RX300's operating system, cores or wireless options, so these points are not compared.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the NComputing RX300 if your deployment is built around NComputing's vSpace Pro, VERDE VDI or its management platform. Choose the Thinvent Micro 5R if you need more memory, built-in Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth, and a fanless Linux-based thin client for RDP and browser-based remote sessions.
