@lproven This reminds me of the era of character mode terminals, which were often pretty complete microcomputers.

There are quite interesting specimens listed there, like HP t740:

CPU: AMD Ryzen Embedded V1756B 3.25-3.6GHz (8 cores)
GPU: Radeon Vega 8 Graphics, with optional Radeon E9173 supports up to six (!) displays at 3840x2160@60Hz
Storage: 16GB-512GB (3 x M.2 slots, one can only be used for wireless cards though, 1Tb module worked in at least 1 of them)
RAM: 4-32GB (64GB Max)
> In March 2023 Eric reported that he was happily using his t740 with 2 x 32GB SODIMMs

"Thin" client 😂🤣😂
