What "Deals and Offers" Means for Business Computers
Buyers looking for deals on business computers are usually comparing configurations rather than chasing a single discount. The useful comparison is price against specification: processor model, core count, memory, storage and operating system. A lower-cost unit with the right ports and the right OS licence often costs less over its service life than a cheaper unit that needs upgrades later.
The Thinvent range covers four form factors — industrial PCs, mini PCs, thin clients and panel PCs — with configurations from a 4-core Intel N5095A mini PC to a 12-core Intel Core i5-1240P industrial PC. Each model is built to a fixed specification, so the configuration you compare is the configuration you receive.

Matching a Configuration to the Workload
Thin clients suit desk pools where applications run on a server: the Micro 5R draws little power, has WiFi 6 and Bluetooth, and runs Thinux Embedded Linux. Mini PCs suit office desks and counters; the Aero models run Windows 11 Pro on 12th and 14th generation Intel Core processors, and the Treo models cover entry-level and AMD Ryzen 5 options. Industrial PCs suit factory floors, kiosks and control cabinets, where the IPC5 has dual LAN, up to 64GB DDR4 memory and up to 1TB SSD storage.
Panel PCs combine the computer and the display in one unit for machine-side mounting. The 15" Industrial Panel PC runs an Intel Core i5-1335U with 16GB DDR4 memory and a 512GB SSD.
Buying in Volume
For volume purchases, the relevant variables are the fixed configuration, the operating system licence included, the power adapter supplied and the port set. Every unit ships with its adapter — 12V 7A on the IPC5, IPC3, Aero and Panel PC models, 12V 5A on the Treo N5095A, 19V 3A on the Treo Ryzen 5, and 5V 2A on the Micro 5R. Buyers who standardise on one model across a site get consistent spares and consistent OS images.
