        Computer Lab International (CLI) has introduced three new thin client devices running Windows CE 5.0 on AMD Geode GX processors. The MT1200c, MT1500g and the MT1550g meet the needs of businesses looking for "powerful, stable, but cost effective" devices, according to the company.

        The MT1200c is a basic thin client device that includes Microsoft RDP and Citrix ICA for access to remote Windows-hosted applications. The higher-end MT1500g adds Internet Explorer, enabling access to web-based applications. The "smart" MT1550g includes all the features of the MT1500g, plus an integrated smart-card reader. The MT1500g and MT1550g both also include multiple text terminal emulations for midrange, mainframe, UNIX, and other legacy applications, according to the company. All three devices are fanless.
