HP Shows Off Power Over Ethernet Thin Client

Posted by timothy on from the do-not-taunt-happy-thin-client dept.

angry tapir writes "HP has unveiled an all-in-one thin client capable of being powered by an Ethernet cable. The t410 AiO supports the Type 1 Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard, which means it is capable of drawing its power from a network connection, although it can be powered by standard AC power. It uses an ARM-based processor and has an integrated 18.5-inch monitor, and it is capable of being used for virtual desktops through Windows RDP, VMware View and Citrix ICA."

    Have you seen a PoE terminal before? I think that was the point of this one...

    Does it use 1.21 Gigawatts?

    What happens if you put a PoE device on each end of the cable? Free energy...?
