...What is it? A “thin client” is a device that enables all applications to be run from a single server instead of the applications been run from the individual persons computer. Compaq evo thin client T20 otherwise known as the “thin client” for people in the trade. Compaq evo is a Microsoft based terminal, which means it has the ability to connect over a network to an operating system (server) which has a citrix metaframe software operating.

Advantages: quick, small, lightweight, reasonably cheap
Disadvantages: compatability issues

...I've just upgraded 4 machines at work, to the HP thin client, for improved connectivity, and also for space issues. The PC's themselves are a doddle to fix up, taking possibly a max of 15-20mins from start to finish. The thin client has a nice built in speaker and an abundance of USB ports, which should satisfy most users (6 ports in all, 2 front, 4 back) Bootup speed on these machines is good too, from powering on, i would estimate that it takes 20 seconds to reach the network logon screen on our machines, which is a lot faster than our old machines, which would usually take between 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 mins, then go through a dual login (login to the pc itself, then login to the remote desktop connection) whereas the thin client is set to autoload the login for the remote desktop connection.

Advantages: compact
Disadvantages: none as such

...The Compaq Evo D300v is a future proof PC for any bigginer or an ideal gift for a relative seeking his/her first/second PC. Its quite fast and is able to perform many tasks in a respectable amount of time. The 20GB Hard Disk isn't big but it's plenty of space if you just need a PC for general use, e.g. surfing the net and writing letters. It's not a paritcaully powerfull PC and only comes with basic sound and graphics capabilities, but this is fine for most people. This, like most PCs nowadays is Internet ready and it shouldn't take you too long to get that going. One of the big advantages is, its compact, if you don't wan't it to dominate your desk then I surpose it's the PC for you! As a Compaq PC you can expect high build qaulity and a PC that will last you, but you can often find better bargians with other companies.... Read review
