The NComputing L300 is a thin client access device for vSpace Pro, a desktop virtualization platform, and it connects to a host PC over Ethernet. The closest Thinvent match is the Thinvent Micro 5R Thin Client, a fanless ARM-based thin client with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5 and Thinux™ Embedded Linux. For a Windows-capable alternative, the Thinvent Neo S Thin Client uses an Intel Celeron J1900 processor.

Key differences
-
The Thinvent Neo S has a 1000 Mbps Ethernet port, while the Thinvent Micro 5R has a 100 Mbps port.
-
The Thinvent Neo S runs Windows 11 Pro and has Windows 11 IoT, Ubuntu Linux and Thinux™ Embedded Linux as alternatives.
-
The Thinvent Micro 5R has Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5. The Thinvent Neo S has no wireless.
-
The Thinvent Neo S has up to 8 GB RAM and up to 256 GB SSD storage. The Thinvent Micro 5R has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB eMMC storage.
-
The Thinvent Micro 5R is an ARM-based device, so it does not run the x86 software of the Thinvent Neo S.
-
We could not confirm the L300's processor, memory, storage, wireless or video specifications, so a line-by-line hardware comparison is not possible for those rows.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the Thinvent Micro 5R for a fanless, wireless, Linux-based endpoint with a small footprint. Choose the Thinvent Neo S for a fanless thin client that runs Windows 11 Pro, has gigabit Ethernet and more memory and storage.
