Explanation
Cost (A) is the primary driver in thin client purchase decisions because organizations deploy thin clients largely to reduce hardware expenditure compared to full desktop PCs - the entire value proposition is centralized computing at lower per-seat cost. Protocol (B) matters for compatibility but is a technical implementation detail, not the leading decision factor. Brand equity (C) plays a minor role in commodity hardware markets where price competition dominates. CPU speed (D) is largely irrelevant since thin clients offload processing to a server - a weak CPU is by design.
Memory tip: Think of the acronym Cheap Computing - the two C's remind you that thin clients exist for Cost savings through Centralized computing.
