HP ThinPro

HP's enterprise thin client hardware and OS — built for scale

HP's thin client portfolio — running the hardened HP ThinPro Linux OS — covers everything from entry-level T series devices to high-performance workstation thin clients for power users. HP's global supply chain, enterprise warranty options, and deep integration with Citrix HDX and Microsoft AVD make their t-series the most widely deployed thin client hardware in the world. For enterprise procurement teams managing thousands of endpoints, HP thin clients offer a one-stop hardware and OS solution with predictable pricing and consistent form factors.

Overview

HP's thin client division produces a comprehensive range of purpose-built thin client devices running HP ThinPro (Linux) or Windows IoT Enterprise. The portfolio spans from ultra-compact t240 cloud clients to the powerful t755 workstation thin client with AMD Ryzen Pro and dual 4K display support. HP's relationship with major VDI vendors — particularly Citrix, which certifies HP hardware for HDX — and Microsoft (for AVD) means HP thin clients are validated reference hardware for the most common enterprise VDI deployments.

Buyer's FAQ

Should I run HP ThinPro or IGEL OS on HP hardware?

For Citrix-heavy environments over 500 seats, IGEL OS on HP hardware often wins — IGEL's management capabilities are more mature. For simpler deployments or organizations wanting a single-vendor relationship, HP ThinPro is a solid choice. Compare Select will recommend based on your VDI platform and IT team capacity.
