   I've noticed lately thin clients have been replaced by the "tiny" computers Lenovo and the like sell for a good reason; they're more powerful and can function as PCs. It's not like new thin clients are slouches anyhow, the Wyse DX0q I've seen mostly get repurposed as streaming boxes or emulation boxes since it has a quad core AMD Jaguar CPU (the A4-5000 from the Thinkpad X140e is the same CPU but rebranded).
   
   I'm tempted to buy one of these mini PCs again or similar from the ewaste places near me where I got my server, I've just been so busy lately. They hold their value on eBay as well.
   
   I'm only sure the reason that hospitals and the like still use them has to be regulatory bullshit reasons or security reasons (which once again, use RDP), and when a PC is required they just use those mini PCs instead. Schools definitely didn't embrace them either because they use Chromebooks or cheap laptops designed to be "rugged" instead.
