Intel (NUC) Mini-PC

Post by Justin Shafer » Sun Jun 22, 2014 3:36 am

Anyone tried these for.. fun. :D Gary over at VideoDental.com was showing this to me... Seems powerful enough to be a workstation, minus heavy conebeam stuff like TX Studio. That is the main app that would not run for sure in my mind.

isn't that pretty much the same setup we had at A-ville ?? worked great, and you could afford to keep spare workstations for swapping out when needed. ours were fully programmed with Win7, CDR, IOC, OD, etc. small enough to velcro on the back of a monitor, and treat the whole thing like a poor man's iMac but without all that OS-that-really-works stuff.

Yeah... same thing pretty much. Except this thing has an i5.. The lenova (is that who made that?) sported an Intel Atom. Worked, except for Intra-Oral cameras.

More power, same concept.

Why did not the oral cameras work? Because these are zero/thin clients?
I'm considering such clients for operatories, and even the front desk, with one server in a more secure place in the office.
