Endpoint TCO Calculator

See how much a ChipPC thin-client fleet — or PC to TC with ThinX OS — can save versus traditional PCs over hardware refresh, energy, and IT management.

Quick answer

Model uses published ChipPC figures (~3.5 W thin clients, ~10-year design lifespan) against typical PC power (70–150 W) and shorter refresh. Adjust your endpoint count and scenario — results update instantly. For a formal business case, talk to sales.

What drives ChipPC TCO

Same five levers IGEL talks about — with ChipPC’s hardware + ThinX + Xcalibur stack, not OS-only.

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

Central management, fewer desk visits

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

FAQ

Is this the same as IGEL’s TCO Calculator?

IGEL’s public page is mainly a contact path for a custom calculation. ChipPC’s tool gives an instant, transparent estimate you can tune — then escalate to sales for a formal model with your real SKUs and power rates.

Why can PC to TC show higher energy than new thin clients?

Repurposed PCs still draw more watts than purpose-built ChipPC thin clients (~3.5 W). PC to TC typically wins on CapEx by avoiding new hardware; new thin clients win harder on energy at fleet scale.

Are CapEx prices official list prices?

No — they are editable planning defaults. Use Get a detailed TCO review for project pricing, volume, warranty and management licenses.
