[Thinlinc-technical] Wyse T50 client?

[Jens Langner]

Hi,

let me remind you that these Wyse D50d terminals seem to be quite expensive compared to other terminal-like systems like the intel NUC. While a D50d system costs ruffly about 300 EUR, you can get an intel NUC based celeron 846 system with 2 GB of ram and fully pxe bootable for just 150,- EUR (dual headed, ethernet, 3x USB). While the intel NUC is not really sold as a thin client, it perfectly fits into this area and compares perfectly to clients officially sold as Thin Clients. And the good thing with these NUC systems is that for users wanting to have a full desktop for a reason these systems can easily and quickly be converted to full desktop system by simply stuffing in an mSATA drive (there are even versions sold with i3 or i5 processors and soon there will be a version with the new Haswell processor line).

best regards,
jens

Mine came pre-installed w/ Suse Linux on the 2GB flash, but can easily be replaced or just PXE booted.  A bit bigger physically than the T series, but comparable to the Sun Ray DTU.
