The Vcloudpoint V1 Zero Client is a zero client that runs with vCloudPoint's vMatrix software to deliver shared desktop computing. We could not confirm the V1's processor, RAM, storage or operating system, so the table below shows those cells as "Not confirmed". The closest Thinvent alternative is the Thinvent Micro 5R Thin Client, a fanless ARM-based device with Thinux™ Embedded Linux, which connects to remote desktops over RDP and VNC.
Vcloudpoint V1 Zero Client vs Thinvent Thin Clients
| Specification | Vcloudpoint V1 Zero Client | Thinvent Micro 5R Thin Client | Thinvent Neo S Thin Client |
|---|---|---|---|
| Processor | Not confirmed | ARM Cortex A53, 4 cores, up to 2.0 GHz (Rockchip RK3528) | Intel Celeron J1900, 4 cores, up to 2.4 GHz |
| RAM | Not confirmed | 2 GB | 4 GB |
| Storage | Not confirmed | 16 GB eMMC | 128 GB SSD |
| Form Factor | Zero client | Thin Client | Thin Client |
| Cooling | Solid-state, no fans (per vCloudPoint) | Fanless passive cooling | Fanless passive cooling |
| Operating System | Not confirmed | Thinux™ Embedded Linux | Microsoft Windows 11 Pro |
| Wireless | Not confirmed | Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 | No WiFi |
Key differences
-
Both Thinvent models are fanless with passive cooling, as the vCloudPoint zero client is described as having no moving parts or fans.
-
The Thinvent Micro 5R has Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5, and the Thinvent Neo S includes a VGA port, serial ports and a parallel port for legacy peripherals.
-
The Thinvent Neo S can run Windows 11 Pro, Windows 11 IoT, Ubuntu Linux, Thinux™ Embedded Linux, or no operating system, giving buyers a choice of software.
-
We could not confirm the V1's processor, memory, storage or operating system, so we cannot state a performance comparison for it.
Which one should you choose?
Choose a vCloudPoint solution if you have already deployed vMatrix software and want its shared computing model. Choose the Thinvent Micro 5R for a compact, low-power thin client with wireless connectivity and Linux. Choose the Thinvent Neo S if you need a Windows 11 Pro thin client with serial and parallel ports.
