The Atrust t68LD is a Linux-based thin client built for client/server computing, with support for Citrix, Microsoft RDP and VMware Horizon desktops. The closest Thinvent match is the Thinvent Micro 5R Thin Client, an ARM Cortex A53 thin client with 2 GB onboard RAM, 16 GB eMMC storage and Thinux embedded Linux, which suits the same remote desktop access role.
Atrust t68LD vs Thinvent Micro 5R Thin Client
| Atrust t68LD | Thinvent Micro 5R Thin Client | |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | Intel Celeron N2807 (dual core) | ARM Cortex A53 |
| Cores/Threads | 2 cores | 4 cores, up to 2.0 GHz |
| RAM | 2 GB (per user review; datasheet lists 4 GB) | 2 GB onboard |
| Storage | Mini mSATA flash | 16 GB eMMC |
| Operating system | Linux (or Windows, per user report) | Thinux embedded Linux |
| Wireless | Not stated | Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth |
| Form factor | Compact thin client | Not stated |
Key differences
-
The Micro 5R has four cores against the t68LD's two, giving it more processing headroom for remote sessions.
-
Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth are included on the Micro 5R; wireless support for the t68LD is not stated.
-
The Micro 5R's 16 GB eMMC storage is built onto the unit, while the t68LD relies on a mini mSATA flash board, a format that is harder to source.
-
The t68LD runs on a 5V supply with a 4.8mm/1.7mm coax plug, while the Micro 5R uses a 5V 2A adapter.
-
Both are Linux-based, so the choice comes down to processor architecture and connectivity rather than operating system.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the Atrust t68LD if you already have t68LD units, accessories or management workflows in place and need a like-for-like replacement. Choose the Thinvent Micro 5R Thin Client if you want a newer quad-core thin client with Wi-Fi 6 and built-in eMMC storage for remote desktop access.
