The HP Wyse range is a line of thin clients, several of which use Intel Pentium Silver processors. The Thinvent Neo S Thin Client is the closest match in our range: it is a fanless thin client with an Intel J1900 quad-core processor, which belongs to the same Intel Celeron/Pentium Silver generation of low-power chips.

Key differences
-
The Thinvent Neo S has a higher maximum processor frequency, 2.4 GHz against the 1.5 GHz we could confirm for the Wyse 5070 review unit.
-
The Thinvent Neo S is fanless, so it has no moving parts in its cooling. We could not confirm the cooling design of the HP Wyse models.
-
The Thinvent Neo S lets you choose from six operating systems, including Windows 11 Pro, Ubuntu Linux and Thinux™ Embedded Linux.
-
The Wyse 5070 review unit has more memory, 8 GB DDR4 against 4 GB DDR3 in the Neo S base configuration. The Neo S can be configured up to 8 GB.
-
The HP Wyse range has a wider set of validated configurations and form factors. We could not confirm the full specification of each Wyse model.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the HP Wyse Thin Client if you need a validated HP or Dell-platform thin client with 8 GB of memory and an M.2 SSD. Choose the Thinvent Neo S Thin Client if you want a fanless thin client with a higher processor frequency, a choice of operating systems, and serial and parallel ports for legacy equipment.
