Explanation

A thin client is specifically designed to minimize local hardware resources. It typically has a low-power CPU, minimal RAM, little or no local storage, and a stripped-down OS - all processing and data storage happen on the remote server. The thin client only handles input/output and rendering the remote session. A thick client is a full-featured PC, a CAD workstation and virtualization workstation are high-spec machines - all of these have substantial local resources. For a user doing all work remotely, a thin client is the ideal and cost-effective solution.
