Thin Client

US based personal computer maker Hewlett Packard has launched two new thin-client computers. HP claims that these new products are power-efficient, low-maintenance alternatives to desktop PCs.

Hewlett Packard plans to market these new products to large enterprises, governments, and educational institutions.

These two new products are entry-level Compaq t5135 Thin Client and business-class t5530 Thin Client. These computers are the size of a paperback book.

HP said that the t5135 model is now replacing their model 5125. It comes loaded with the Debian Linux OS. The other model t5530 replaces HP’s model 5520 and comes powered with the Windows CE OS.

These two products are powered with 64MB of flash storage, 128MB of RAM and a Via Technologies Eden processor, running at 400MHz for the 5135 or 800MHz for the 5530.

These new products would be sold in the US market for $199 and $299 respectively.
