Ah yes, our friends from laptopsforless out in Long Island, who also sell the 9 dollar AT29M2 fiber cards and up to their usual hijinks here. The same machine (4XR66UC#ABA) are sold sealed/in-box for 179 on Newegg, and if you want the HP keyboard/mouse set, it's an extra 26 USD including shipping.Just saw this and thought people might be interested.

It does not seem that bad to me, for me shipping is approx. $51 for 1 or $86 for 2.Damn, it is a good deal, except postage costs + Tax to EU. F.ck.
To focus on the negative aspects, It is also older hardware (using DDR3 RAM) with a fan.does this not seem like a better deal?

32GB of ram, windows 7, etc for 20$ more
Edit: missed no A/C adapter....still tho.
Eh, HP thinstore or thinstate utility (I forgot what it was called) is what you’ll need to load their intended thin client OS. You just download it, run the utility to make a USB thumb drive containing an installer, then stick it into a machine that you are trying to image in - it should boot off the thumb drive and work. ThinPro should not require a license per-se but I don’t remember if the Linux installer will look for one. The Windows image installer in the USB image will check for a hardware license.If one wanted to use the HP Thin client OS, what's the process for installing it on one of these? Alternatively, will these run Windows 10 Pro or Ubuntu 18.x/20.x?
And, finally, I see claims that the M.2 slot supports both SATA & NVME. Can anyone confirm?
that’s 8GB of DDR3 SODIMM, 32GB of Flash, and Win7 enterprise embedded x64. It’s not quite the same as a full Win7 professional license. It does have a PCIe slot for wiring things up, but yeah, it’s definitely an older machine. 2 sticks of 16GB DDR3L RAM alone is worth significantly more than the price of the machine (160-180 USD the last I checked...wow, it’s above 300 USD now?!)does this not seem like a better deal?

I have a t740 wit esxi plus intel card and virtualized pfsense. Perfect. I can saturate the 1Gbit internet speed.Eh, HP thinstore or thinstate utility (I forgot what it was called) is what you’ll need to load their intended thin client OS.

As for Ubuntu and Win10, yes, it should just work. A fun one would be...pfsense.
