    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a thin client in computing?

    A thin client is a compact device with limited local computing power, designed to rely on a central server for resource-heavy tasks. Businesses can deploy thin clients instead of investing in costly desktop computers to give users access to remote applications and data through a network connection.

    Which is better: a thin client or a laptop?

    Depending on your needs, you can choose between a laptop and a thin client PC. Laptops are portable personal computers with local processing power, making them convenient but sometimes limited in scalability. In contrast, thin clients are lightweight desktop devices that connect to a server for processing power, making them ideal for centralized, server-based environments.

    Can I use a thin client PC at home?

    You can use a thin client at home, provided you have a stable internet connection to access remote desktop and application sessions. They can also be used for tasks like browsing. To operate, you'll need a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

    How can I identify a thin client?

    Usually, a thin client PC lacks high-end components like a powerful graphics card or a large internal hard drive. It also typically has less memory than a full-fledged PC, as it relies on a central server for processing and storage needs.

    What is the difference between a desktop PC and a thin client?

    Traditional desktop PCs store applications and data on a local hard drive, while thin clients have minimal or no local storage. Instead, they access applications and data directly from a server. They often operate through shared terminal services or desktop virtualization, with little to no operating system onboard.

    How much RAM does a thin client PC need?

    Typically, 4GB of RAM is sufficient for most tasks in a thin computing environment. Thin clients don't need much memory, but there has been an evolution of VDI clients requiring higher local processing and resources depending on the task(s) (i.e. multiple apps, high graphics, video conferencing).

    Can you install Windows 11 on a thin client PC?

    Yes, depending on the configuration, thin clients can run various operating systems, including Windows 11. Win 11 IoT is an excellent option if Windows is required, as it is more restricted and secure.
