The Fujitsu FUTRO S920 is a thin client built for secure server-based computing and desktop virtualization, with expansion slots and passive cooling. The closest Thinvent alternative for a fanless, low-power front-end deployment is the Thinvent® Micro 5R Thin Client, while the Thinvent® Treo Mini PC range offers a choice of processors and far more memory for firewall and appliance workloads.

Which one should you choose?
Choose the Thinvent Micro 5R for a small, lightweight thin client with Wi-Fi 6 and Thinux embedded Linux. Choose the Thinvent Treo Mini PC with Ryzen 5 7430U when a pfSense firewall deployment needs more RAM, more storage and more cores than a thin client provides.
