Business caseEstimate 3–7 year total cost of ownership savings versus traditional PCs — model hardware CapEx, energy and IT labor in minutes.
Model new ChipPC thin clients or PC to TC with ThinX OS. Key inputs: device count, energy cost (~3.5 W thin client vs 65–150 W PC), IT labor, and hardware refresh cycles.
The ChipPC TCO Calculator estimates 3–7 year savings from switching to thin clients or converting PCs with ThinX OS. Key variables: number of devices, years modeled, PC unit cost vs thin-client cost, energy rate (thin clients use ~3.5 W vs 65–150 W for PCs), and IT labor savings from centralized Xcalibur Global management. Typical TCO savings: 40–65 % over 5 years. Next step: run the calculator or contact ChipPC for a custom analysis.

CapEx and labor figures are planning defaults you can change. Energy uses ChipPC’s published ~3.5 W working-mode figure for purpose-built thin clients (Environmental.

Illustrative model for planning — not a formal quote. Device pricing, electricity rates, and labor models vary by region and enterprise agreement.
ChipPC lowers endpoint TCO across the entire lifecycle through our fully integrated hardware, robust ThinX OS, and centralized Xcalibur Global management suite.
Designed ~10-year lifespan vs short PC cycles. Or skip refresh CapEx with PC to TC and ThinX OS.
Ultra-low-power thin clients cut electricity and cooling — see Environmental.
Locked ThinX endpoints + Xcalibur Global or XcaliburW reduce patching and local installs.
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.
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.
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 analysis for your environment — contact us to get started.
