That is awesome to hear. I've worried about Maxspeed as they were
always one of my favorite companies due to their just down right great
customer service. So, I'm happy to hear your experiences with Neoware.
I'm also curious what you think of the price? Steve makes a great point
that it is a bit on the high side and I agree somewhat but I still think
there is a huge benefit from a thin client savings perspective. I
guess it is only "soft" dollars but soft dollars are dollars and it all
adds up.
The biggest problem I have with a Thin Client like that Maxbook is that
I would like to have Word and PowerPoint installed on it but legally I'm
not aloud. I know that it is what Citrix is for but I'm not always able
to connect or... well... sometimes I just like having my apps locally.
What do you guys think? I give me vote for the thin client vs. the PC
but then don't you dare take my PC from me or I will come after you...
;) :-) I guess I'm a confused man....

in the past, they have done a good job of absorbing products in. When
they bought Boundless they rebranded and supported the Capio line and
still do. I think they will do justice to the Maxspeed line. I would
love to see the Maxspeed laptop running Neolinux. They would dominate
the healthcare market with it. We put Voyager tablets on med carts but
the laptop would have been better.

I like the MaxSpeed 820! I use it EVERYDAY! Although, Maxspeed was
just bought by Neoware so will see what they do with this laptop thin
client and what they do will Maxspeed in general. :-(

I agree with Steve about the future stuff. that can be ticky. i like
Neoware. the c50 has got enough juice to handle some future
enhancements and Neoware is pretty good about releasing newer ica
clients. centrally managed, small, fits under a monitor. It is also
very shiny.

The rub in your request is the future stuff. Although I hesitate to say
this, the ultimate thin client that can do ALL the future stuff is a PC

I'd like to know what the ultimate, future proof(!), thin client would
be...
I want to get something that can run v9+ ica clients, be centrally
managed + updated and easily deployed ...
Of course it also has to be neat and tidy etc. (all the usual
requirements)
...but it also has to support multimedia - future video conferencing via
citrix, voip etc.
I like the look of the Jackpc from chippc
http://www.chippc.com/products/jackpc/flow.aspp
<http://www.chippc.com/products/jackpc/specs.asp> , which I believe is
the only PoE thin client that fits inside a jack socket. Very neat!
But I'd like to throw this open to the list for your thoughts - is
anyone actually using a jackpc? - what are they like?
Is there a better client to deploy?
Cheers.
