IDG Contributor Network: Dell Wyse 5070 vs the Always Connected PC: redefining the desktop in parts
This past week has been fascinating for me. I got my hands on my first Always Connected PC laptop made by Asus. And then Dell [a client of the author] announced their updated thin client desktop solution, the Dell Wyse 5270.
Both products are designed to replace their more traditional PC counterparts with solutions that are more cloud-centric, and both are big steps toward what will eventually be PC as a Service end-game.
What fascinates me about this is that Dell is arguably the leader in desktop thin client technology – having acquired Wyse some time ago – but they’re the only major Microsoft [also a client of the author] partner not producing an Always Connected PC product.
