Anyone using a "Thin Client"

cltisdale » Mon Jun 26, 2017 9:42 pm

I'm considering using a Wyse Z90D7 "Thin Client" with a browser to access money making sites. It is small, cheap, with no moving parts, and power consumption comparable to a tablet. I could get several of them connect them to a kvm and not use a dedicated monitor.
Has anyone tried this?

Have not tried it and it would technically work but keep in mind Thin Clients need a server to connect to in order to work. So unless you know how to set up said server, you might be better off buying an actual PC, tablet, or phone instead.

Here are the specs for the Wyse Z90D7 "Thin Client" https://www.cnet.com/products/dell-wyse ... 17l/specs/. The OS is windows 7 embedded.
I do have a dell server to connect it to.

I have a Dell Poweredge with 10 blade server. I plan to use on of the blades as the server.

I am wanting to use Earnhoney, Earnably, and KoinMe (if I ever get approved).

As I've done more research on the thin client and its limitations outweigh any benefits it could have. Thanks for all of the input.

Not for now. It might work but I don't want to put in the time to figure it out.
