Hewlett-Packard is announcing a refresh of its mid-range thin client portfolio, due to start shipping next week. The line of t5500s (t5550, t5565 and t5570) is the lowest priced HP offers, starting at $ 249, and provides easier deployment. The company, which already dominates this market, according to IDC’s “Q310 Enterprise Client Device Tracker,” says that its new products provide significantly improved performance, a wireless option and the ability to support new capabilities such as Citrix HDX. The latter provides network and performance optimizations for a “high-definition” desktop virtualization user experience.
