HP Thin Clients Impress

Deploying thin clients may not result in cost savings for every organization, but small and midsize businesses looking for a robust, fairly powerful dumb-terminal experience can find it in Hewlett-Packard Co.''s Compaq t5510 and t5710 Thin Client systems.

Released in October, the t5510 and t5710 thin clients have small footprints, making them unobtrusive on the desktop. The solid-state devices lack hard drives, but they have a Windows look and feel that may appease users reluctant to abandon thick clients.

The t5510, which is priced starting at $359, is equipped with Microsoft Corp.'s Windows CE .Net operating system and Internet Explorer 6.0 for basic HTML browsing. For more information please contact your Lincoln account manager or visit. http://www.hp.com/products/
