Our WYSE 1200LE units rock because of the speed aspect alone. Users don't
care about losing their PC once they see how quickly they can get their apps
started.

I work for the government. I would prefer users do everything from Citrix
so if they lose the laptop, the information isn't comprimised. I know most
businesses aren't that nuts about things though.
The Voyagers were over a thousand if I remember right. More by the time we
mounted them to the med carts etc. I don't think the price on the maxbook
is too bad. it's a niche item in the thin client world. If you need it,
you were already willing to pay the price of a laptop

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.
