What You're Looking For
The term "stauu" does not match any known Thinvent model number or standard computing acronym, so it is most likely a typo, a partial model name, or an internal reference. If that is the case, the closest product categories are thin clients, mini PCs and industrial computers — small, low-power computers built for continuous operation rather than for a desk-bound office role. If you have a specific model code in mind, our team can confirm whether an equivalent configuration is available.
Thin Client vs. Mini PC vs. Industrial PC
A thin client is a streamlined terminal that depends on a server for most of its processing. It typically boots from the network (PXE/TFTP), stores little or no local data, and is managed centrally — which makes it cheap to deploy and easy to secure across hundreds of desks or shop-floor stations.
A mini PC is a fully self-contained computer: it has local storage, its own operating system and enough CPU and memory to run applications independently. It suits digital signage, kiosks, point-of-sale terminals, multimedia classrooms and general office work.
An industrial PC (IPC) adds ruggedisation on top of the mini PC formula — wide-temperature components, fanless cooling, vibration-tolerant mounting, watchdog timers, wide-range DC input and legacy I/O such as DB9 serial ports for PLCs, scales, CNC controllers and meters.
| Attribute | Thin Client | Mini PC | Industrial PC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Processing | Mostly server-side | Fully local | Fully local |
| Local storage | Minimal / none | 128 GB – 1 TB SSD |
