Its HDMI port support up to 1920 x 1200 pixels resolution. In addition to these basic Raspberry Pi features, it supports a Kensington security lock connector and an optional VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association- A technical standard for Computer display) metal mounting kit and supports temperature ranges from 0 to 35oC degress.
The Clientron S-Cube Raspberry Pi 3 B+ comes with power efficient and cost-effective benefits, it offers the lowest endpoints acquisition cost of desktop virtualization solution for customers. Because of its PC- like working experience and capability to run virtual sessions from various workspace environments, it is suitable to enhance working environments in different markets.
Apart from running thin client solutions, the S-Cube Pi 3 B+ can be used for various applications such as digital signage and smart retail applications.
Clientron has also recently released other models based on the intel Braswell Q800 and R800 processor which runs Windows Embedded Standard 7, Win10 IoT Enterprise with Linux available per request.
