A couple of Lenovo’s ThinkPad laptops are being repackaged as thin client computers. The 11.6-inch ThinkPad X100e and 14.1-inch SL410 will be offered by VXL Instruments as the TL100 and TL412 thin clients, respectively.
Thin clients are computers that run minimal or even no operating systems & software locally, rather operating as a terminal to resources provided over a network connection. One of the benefits to this are reduced system requirements, allowing vendors to utilize systems with lower end, cheaper specifications to reduce cost, complexity and even power consumption.
Accordingly, the X100e/TL100 is outfitted with an AMD Athlon MV-40 chip, while the SL410/TL412 gets an Intel Celeron P4500 dual-core chip. Since load on the system itself will be relatively small, these laptops only come with 1GB RAM and 1GB local flash storage.
