    Good thin client replacement, ...Michael James -- 17/06/08

    Good thin client replacement, perfect for cost conscious areas. Audio and USB a nice touch. Found that you need a GIG or multiple 100 NIC at the server/host.

    The good: Dont need other products to make it run - eg no RDP, TS or Citrx. Makes the total cost pretty decent.

    The bad: No IP address for each device, but they tell me they are fixing this. Not uncommon for non-embedded thin client.s

Overview

The good:
  • A cost-effective and relatively easy way to add extra users to an existing network
  • Terminals are low-power, secure, easy to administer and quiet
  • Works with Windows- or Linux-based host PCs
  • Up to 30 terminals supported (with a server OS running on the host PC)
The bad:
  • Long and slightly confusing install process
  • Performance is inversely related to the number of terminals installed, and directly related to the computing power of the host PC
  • Unsuitable for demanding applications
The bottomline:

The L230 is solid thin client hardware for word processing, low-level spreadsheet work, web browsing and other office tasks.

Editors’ rating:

7/10

RRP: AU$363.00
