HP Pro t550 2 GHz ThinPro 1.3 kg Black J6412

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £352 ex-VAT, the HP Pro t550 with a J6412-class processor is a sensible “keep it simple” thin client—especially in environments where you’re streaming desktops (RDP/VDI/hosted apps) and you mainly need reliability, low noise, and easy manageability. It’s not a powerhouse, but that’s kind of the point: for call-centre style workloads, office apps, Citrix/VDI access, and general task PCs, this tier often gives you a better return than paying for compute you’ll never use locally. At around 1.3 kg, it’s also easy to deploy and replace without making tech support life harder than it needs to be.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it as a general-purpose endpoint, and I wouldn’t choose it for users who rely on lots of local processing (heavy graphics, local media work, big CAD workflows, anything “offline”). If your estate might grow more demanding over the next 2–3 years, spend time checking your VDI/remote profile and the session load—thin clients live or die by the server side, but the client still needs headroom for smooth UI, multiple peripherals, and video-heavy sessions. Bottom line: buy it if you’re doing managed remote desktop access for typical business users; don’t buy it if you expect it to behave like a full desktop PC.
