The Dell Wyse P45 is a thin client from Dell. The facts available to us describe a set of unrelated film and music pages, and we could not confirm the Wyse P45's processor, memory, storage, operating system or dimensions. A direct specification comparison is therefore not possible from confirmed data. Thinvent has mini PCs and industrial PCs with Intel Core processors, up to 64 GB of RAM and up to 2 TB of storage, which are suitable alternatives to a thin client in many deployments.
