Hi Everyone,
Some nice thinclients in HP
Make & Model - HP T640
Form Factor - ThinClient
Processor - Ryzen R1505G, 2.4GHz Processor
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 64GB
Storage Type - SSD
Ports - 3 DisplayPort 1.2 | 1 x DisplayPort over USB Type-C with Power Delivery | 3x USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type A Port, 1 x USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port | 2 x USB 2.0 Type-A port
Features - Wired-Ethernet (RJ-45)
Operating System - NO OS
Uh it quite clearly says it has a 64GB SSD
Ohhh gee, yeah NO OS threw me off. Okay yes.
But still. N5105 thin clients seem to be a bit better for around the same? Or is it the single care performance that makes this one a good deal?
ýes the N5xxx ones are arguably better with 4 actual strong (relative) cores
Better get $100 N100 instead
It's a thin client, its not for playing games unless that game is on another computer
Who said anything about gaming?
These are media server/HomeLab candidates for me. Processing power is still very important for many, many reasons.
Can i honestly ask you what kind of system you expect to buy for $70?
Nothing special. But this doesn’t fit my needs, that’s all. Display port is generally a limiting factor for random monitors I use my HomeLab stuff for.
I thought 4 core stuff wasn’t much more expensive but I guess they are.
lower score than n5105
Passmark says the Ryzen 5105G is all of an unnoticeable 5% slower than a N1505 using all cores and threads, and its the other way round by a about the same margin on single core performance with the 5105G slightly faster. So they are about as close as you can get for two processors, one a 2C/4T one from AMD and the other a 4C/4T one from Intel.
id rather those $80 6400T mini pc's you see everywhere on marketplace with 128/8GB
Power usage and noise are the only reasons, you might save $30-50 a year if it's running 24/7 doing something very basic (note, numbers calculated in my head after a glass of wine, do not make financial decisions based off my advice).
Granted, I'm not sure what that use case is. Pfsense maybe?
10/10 google flex machine. Has Official chrome OS Flex support till 2030. 8Gb Ram and 2 core 4 thread machine this will fly. good purchase for anyone.
Untech: does it come with a stand/foot?
Yes, we do have stands for these
Well you ought to say, and put it in the advert as included, because they are passively cooled so HP says these should not be used unless they are mounted on the stand - either vertically or horizontally - or on the back of a monitor - which requires another type of mount. The stand spaces the unit up enough that the air can flow up through it by convection.
How much are they?
Will ship them with stands. No extra cost
Anyone have real world power draw. Best I could find was 45W max
How long is a piece of string?
The current draw of a processor, or a system with a given processor in it, depends on what its doing.
A HP T640 thin client comes with a 60 watt power brick if it has the USB-C option that provides power out to a screen, or a 45 watt power brick if it doesn't. The processor itself is rated at 15 watt TDP, ie, maximum draw, and idles at something under 3 watts.
I can plug one into a watt meter and fire it up and get the units power draw if you like.
Idle is what I'm after. Thanks. comparing to pi4
Use case?
Its a well-built reliable low end PC with a Ryzen processor in it that will run Windows 10 or 11 off an MVMe M.2 SSD of whatever size you want to plug into it, and whatever DP or HDMI (with a passive DP to HDMI cable) screen you want to use up to and including 4K. For a lot of people that quite enough PC power to do the internet and office computing they want to do. And its passively cooled, so its silent.
What its not is internally expandable, or suitable for gaming.
Home assistant.
For anyone who is interested, this is how you get one of these running Windows 10 or 11.
First go into the BIOS and set secure boot on and the TPM on if you want to run Windows 11, or both of them off if you want to run Windows 10 and don't want it to try to upgrade to 11.
Then you install Windows the same as you would with any PC, off a USB stick.
Then you go to the AMD drivers site and get the drivers for the R1505G processor, and install them. You need to do that because they aren't in retail Windows. If I remember correctly you have to reboot and do the video driver last. Do not get the drivers from the HP T640 thin client site, they only work on the version of Windows HP supplies.
Does it include wifi adapter or is it optional?
Im planning to install Mint Linux on it for my son do his homework
Thank you
If it HDMI id buy it
In term of processing power, which model of Raspberry Pi is similar to this? Or this is more powerful than any Raspberry Pis?
Untech, does itncomr with wifi adapter or is it optional

2 cores, lower score than n5105, no SSD, display port only.
$70
A bit of a rough sell, no?
