Cheap corporate PC
Itona TC23, a $199USD computer, runs Linux or Windows CE and uses thin client technology, such as Citrix, to remove the need for an expensive PC with disk drives on each desk, instead utilising a company’s central server to provide documents and software. Users still have access to all the standard office software, such as word processing, email, web browsing and spreadsheets.
The TC23 is diskless, does not allow users to load their own software, does not store data, and is immune to regular Windows viruses. The machine is also far more reliable than a PC – there are no moving parts such as disk drives or fans. The company provides a 3-year unlimited warranty on its products. The ultra-quiet computer is the size of a hardback book and consumes just 11w of electricity.
