Remix Mini: as a Thin Client

I do think that it has a lot of thin client potential. Are you looking at RDS, VDI, something completely different?
I bought one to test.
I installed the Microsoft Remote Desktop app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.rdc.androidLooking to use it for RDS, VDI & Unidesk VDI

I am very interested to hear how it works and how you like it.

Please let us know your findings. I'm very interested.

Looks good so far.
1920 x 1080 is max resolution. I would have preferred 1920 x 1200, but for $70, can you complain?
Also, it does not support Dual monitors.

Figured. How does it run? Any issues?

It's pretty snappy. The graphics (quality of text) could be a little better, again, for $70...

1.2GHZ Q-core A53 ARM
1GB ram
8GB storage (presumably micro SD)
HDMI
USB 2.0Sounds a ton like a Raspberry Pi 2B

Yes it's micro SD.

I think now they all come with 2GB ram/16GB storage

I'm pretty sure it's 1 gig of memory and the micro SD card can be much larger than 16 GB

Oh, I was talking about Raspberry Pi's. My bad.

@FATeknollogee Can you tell me if right click works in an RDP session? (or at all?) I heard some android devices have a hard time with the right click.

I've got the Remix Ultratablet... in RDP I can just hold to the screen (or two finger tap on the track pad) and it works fine. Using a USB mouse also works fine.

@Mike-Davis Let me check
I'm updating the RDP app. The release notes for 8.1.30 says "fixed an issue where right-clicking did not work w external keyboards" -
@Mike-Davis Right click works fine.

Been researching thin clients and supposedly RDP 10 is supported on Android. Has anyone installed that version and tested with 2016 RDSH?
-
I haven't powered my mini on for months ha
-
You could, in theory, pop Android onto a Raspberry Pi or something for this, too.

I'll give it a go. I gotta charge up my Ultratablet after lunch.
