    I use Lenovo's Think Centers and they work fine. Just keep an eye on what other programs you are running at the same time as you can bog them down. This is the same for all small formfactor devices.

    As Mike said. SmartSDR is a lightweight client and runs well on any recent platform. It the other stuff that makes it struggle.

    Hey Mike,…What Lenovo PCs are you referring to that run on 12VDC?

    I thought they were 12V. Let me look when I get back to the remote site. (maybe they were 20V).

    Thanks. I believe the laptop charger/power supplies are all 19 or 20 VDC. I don't know of any Lenovo desktops that do not use 120 VAC.

    I am an Intel NUC fan. Small with a quality build and specs.

    My NUC12 is rated for 12-20v +-5% input. Per the Intel technical manual.

    I have only run my NUC with the included 19v AC supply though.

    Intel sold their NUC line to Asus a couple of years back. Asus continues to develop them.
