One of the main reasons that ACP's ThinManager software is able to outperform any other Thin Client management software is because of the special ACP BIOS that resides in every ThinManager Ready Thin Client. This BIOS also allows ThinManager to offer features not found anywhere else. Features like Thin Client independence (users can swap any model ThinManager Ready Thin Client for any other), instant failover, task switching. etc.
We currently have a good number of companies who provide ThinManager Ready hardware, and the list continues to grow. Customers often ask for a way to compare the different platforms. To that end, we have put together the following list that gives a single source for the basic specifications of the most popular ThinManager Ready Thin Clients.

Almost all flat panel Thin Clients are available with or without touchscreen. Resolution of LCD panels is determined by physical display size. Some 110V AC Thin Clients have 24V DC option - ask the manufacturer.
* Remember - only Thin Client hardware with the ThinManager Ready label is valid for use with ThinManager software. Look for the ThinManager Ready label on all of your Thin Clients!
