Explanation

A thin client is a low-cost, low-power endpoint device specifically designed to access virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and remote applications. Since all processing and storage happen on the server side, the thin client only needs enough hardware to handle display output, input peripherals, and network connectivity. This makes it far cheaper than a thick client, gaming PC, or CAD workstation - all of which include expensive local CPUs, GPUs, and RAM designed for local computation. For a user whose sole requirement is accessing virtual desktops, a thin client is the ideal and most cost-effective choice.
