It's missing all of the HP mini's which have been extremely popular for more than a decade.
Examples:

- haunter 2y agoNot just HP but Lenovo and Dell too. They all use the same case and motherboard design. x86 so every Linux and BSD distro will work, upgradable CPU, RAM, and HDD etc. I can vouch for them.
- jsheard 2y agoParky Towers has a decent index of those thin clients, with information about how they can be upgraded https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/hware/hardware.shtml https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/hware/hardware.shtml
- haunter 2y agoThat's not the same. Thin clients are a different category than small form factor micro PCs.
- jsheard 2y agoIt's a fuzzy line, systems like the Wyse 5070 were originally marketed as thin clients but they are more than powerful enough to be repurposed as an SFF PC or home server. That one can be upgraded all the way to 32GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD if you want, and the fat version has a standard PCI-Express slot which can accomodate a 10GbE NIC.
- LargoLasskhyfv 2y agoErr. Via Eden&Nano? SiS? NS/AMD Geode? Transmeta Crusoe? Jurassic Atoms & Celerons? That seems interesting for retro-computing, but not really for anything current running on them. Be it for lacking instruction-sets, or peripheral ports.
