===Hardware=== While the server must be robust enough to handle several client sessions at once, thin client hardware requirements are minimal compared to that of a traditional PC laptop or desktop. Most thin clients have low-energy processors, [[flash storage]], memory, and no moving parts. This reduces the cost, power consumption (heat, noise and vibrations), making them affordable to own and easy to replace or deploy. Numerous thin clients also use [[Raspberry Pi]]s.<ref name="Eric Brown">{{cite web |last1=Brown |first1=Eric |title=Thin Client Market Embraces Raspberry Pi |url=https://www.linux.com/news/thin-client-market-embraces-raspberry-pi/ |website=Linux.com |date=26 May 2017 |access-date=25 July 2022}}</ref> Since thin clients consist of fewer hardware components than a traditional desktop PC, they can operate in more [[IP code|hostile environment]]s. And because they typically don't store critical data locally, risk of theft is minimized because there is little or no user data to be compromised.
