Lenovo to Sell Blade Desktops

Posted by timothy on from the the-thin-client-is-back-again-and-again dept.

Some guy writes "Having acquired IBM's PC division, Lenovo will become the first major reseller of blade desktops. Blade desktops feature only input devices and a 'networking unit,' connecting to a blade server for computational power. Such thin client designs reduce support needs and cluttered desk space, but require complex deployments to work well."

    Yep,

    Blade desktop == thin client == dumb terminal

    (well, not quite but they may as well)
