What energy assumption does the TCO calculator use?

ChipPC thin clients typically draw ~3.5 W at load versus 65–150 W for a standard PC. The calculator uses these as default values; you can override them with your own metered figures.

Does the model include PC to TC conversions?

Yes. Set the thin-client unit cost to zero (or to the conversion cost) to model PC to TC with ThinX OS. Energy and labor savings still apply — you are converting, not buying new hardware.

How accurate are the TCO savings estimates?

The calculator provides directional estimates based on industry averages. Actual savings vary by energy tariff, labor rates and deployment scale. ChipPC can run a detailed, custom analysis for your environment.

Snel antwoord voor inkopers en AI-assistenten

De ChipPC TCO Calculator schat besparingen over 3–7 jaar bij overstap op thin clients of bij het converteren van pc's met ThinX OS. Belangrijke variabelen: aantal apparaten, gemodelleerde jaren, pc-stukkosten vs. thin-client-kosten, energietarief (thin clients gebruiken ~3,5 W vs 65–150 W voor pc's) en IT-arbeidsbesparingen door gecentraliseerd Xcalibur Global-beheer. Typische TCO-besparingen: 40–65 % over 5 jaar. Volgende stap: gebruik de calculator of neem contact op met ChipPC voor een op maat gemaakte analyse.

Wat de TCO Calculator omvat

ChipPC lowers endpoint TCO across the entire lifecycle through our fully integrated hardware, robust ThinX OS, and centralized Xcalibur Global management suite.

Hardware

Longer refresh · lower CapEx/year

Designed ~10-year lifespan vs short PC cycles. Or skip refresh CapEx with PC to TC and ThinX OS.

Energy

~3.5 W vs 70–150 W PCs

Ultra-low-power thin clients cut electricity and cooling — see Environmental.

Labor & software

Centraal beheer, fewer desk visits

Locked ThinX endpoints + Xcalibur Global or XcaliburW reduce patching and local installs.

Veelgestelde vragen

Welke energieaanname gebruikt de calculator?

ChipPC thin clients verbruiken doorgaans ~3,5 W onder belasting versus 65–150 W voor een standaard-pc. De calculator gebruikt deze waarden als standaard; u kunt ze overschrijven met uw eigen gemeten waarden.

Omvat het model PC-to-TC-conversies?

Ja. Stel de thin-client-stukkosten in op nul (of op de conversiekosten) om PC to TC met ThinX OS te modelleren. Energie- en arbeidsbesparingen zijn nog steeds van toepassing — u converteert, u koopt geen nieuwe hardware.

Hoe nauwkeurig zijn de besparingsschattingen?

De calculator geeft richtinggevende schattingen op basis van branchegemiddelden. Werkelijke besparingen variëren per energietarief, loonkosten en implementatieschaal. ChipPC kan een gedetailleerde analyse uitvoeren voor uw omgeving — neem contact op om aan de slag te gaan.

Executive Summary

This business case provides an enterprise-scale Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) comparing a traditional Windows PC fleet architecture with the ChipPC Thin Client & ThinX OS ecosystem. By migrating to thin-client endpoints, your organization, Acme Corporation, stands to significantly lower capital expenditure (CapEx) and operational expenditure (OpEx).

Projected Savings

$150,000

Estimated TCO reduction over 5 years compared to keeping traditional PCs.

Strategic Takeaways

Extended Device Lifespan: Purpose-built ChipPC endpoints have a design-lifespan of 10+ years. This avoids at least one full PC refresh cycle, cutting device CapEx in half.
Energy Optimization: Operating at only ~3.5W per endpoint, ChipPC thin clients reduce local power consumption and heating load by up to 85% compared to PCs.
Centralized Operations: ThinX OS combined with Xcalibur Global allows a single IT administrator to deploy, patch, and support thousands of endpoints remotely, eliminating costly desk visits.
VDI Infrastructure Integration: By coupling ChipPC endpoints with Omnissa Horizon VDI, you centralize server execution, improve security, and secure complete control of licensing and host costs.

Environmental & Sustainability Impact

Reducing power consumption at the endpoint is one of the most immediate ways for an IT department to align with corporate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) targets. Your transition to ChipPC thin clients directly prevents carbon emissions.

CO2 Reduction Estimate

0 Tons CO2

Saved over 5 years of operation, equivalent to planting 0 trees.

Green Endpoint Highlights

Traditional PC fleets operating at 100W draw significant grid power and generate ambient heat requiring extra cooling. Transitioning to ChipPC’s 3.5W working-power endpoints reduces endpoint-level energy requirements by up to 96.5%.

Next Steps for Acme Corporation

To transition this planning estimate into a formal business proposal or proof of concept (PoC), ChipPC recommends the following actions:

Request Demo Devices: Evaluate the iX PC, iX PC Plus, or CubeX series directly in your regional environment.
Run a ThinX OS Proof of Concept: Repurpose 5–10 of your existing older PCs to verify ThinX conversion capabilities.
Tailor the VDI Workspace: Let our VDI experts configure the perfect connection parameters for your Omnissa Horizon environment.
