NComputing L130 Computer Access Terminal Like all NComputing access terminals, the new L230 and L130 dramatically cut computing costs by sharing the untapped power of standard PCs. Best of all, IT staff and end users do not need special training because our solutions are easy to manage, eco-friendly and compatible with standard PC applications. And like all of our L series, the L230 and L130 can use standard Ethernet infrastructure, so that your users can be located as far away from your shared PCs as you need them to be. The new L230 and L130 bring enhanced graphics performance (with improved color depth and widescreen support) and a microphone port-all in a stylish new smaller chassis (just 1 inch tall and 4.5 inches square) that takes absolutely no desktop space at all when mounted to the back of a monitor. We even include the mounting bracket at no charge. Of course, the L230 and L130 include VGA support (resolutions up to 1280x1024 or 1440x900 for widescreen), an Ethernet

Good for basic software . I wasn't expecting miracles with this product, and I didn't get any. However, for our office, we were looking to reduce the amount of PCs that we have to manage, and this seemed like a good idea.
There were some initial installation problems with NComputing's software and XP Service Pack 3. After some uninstalling and reinstalling a few times, I finally got it working.
This device allows you to run many office applications. Your basic word processor, spreadsheet, web browser, etc. work just fine. However, if you have specialized software that was written for the days for Windows 98, you may have some problems.
We weren't able to reduce the amount of PCs and support work as we had initially thought. But we ended up having a handful of users share a PC for their basic applications. That equates to maybe a 5% reduction of hardware and time saved upgrading specific PCs. May not be worth it to some.
The L230 version adds a USB port. It's said to work with thumb drives only. We tried connecting a card reader and a compact flash card. Our files came across corrupted some times. We hooked up an externally powered page scanner, and it works, albeit much more slowly than when hooked up to the PC directly (as expected). The L230 may be a better choice if you might need to have people use external devices.

NComputing L130 Nstation Ultra Thin Client Reviews
Good so far . Only used it a few times for a temp worker but it seems to work fine. It's erie having such a small device in place of a PC on your desk but it's nice. Had to call support a couple of times during install but they were very helpful.

NComputing L130 Nstation Ultra Thin Client Opinions
Great device . This is a great device that we use instead of a second computer. I like it because it is quiet(no fans or moving parts), uses little electricity, and generates little heat. We also only have only one computer to update and scan. You can use both the host and thin client and neither seems to impact performance. I have used this device about 3 years now. The first one got destroyed by a lightning strike (along with our router & cable modem), so we ordered one from Amazon. It is easy to install and the customer support is great. The only downside is that some videos can be a bit choppy. You also need to be careful about MS updates, but nComputing warns you if they will cause a problem. If you have a small business, this would be great for saving money and networking headaches.

Easy to Setup . Very nice device,
So far I like it very much.
Easy to setup.
I see it will reduce my HD and CPU fan failures, or any moving part failures in a PC

Cons Review
not great . I give it an okay for it's cheaper than most other vendors.
However, software-wise, the L130 L230 etc series of this Ncomputing company lags behind quite much.
The system can not boot with a PXE or Etherboot thinclientOS server. You are pretty much tied up to buy their software to be connected to XP, win7 or win2000 2003 20008 etc. They have relatively poor corporation with MS company so a single patch update from MS might disconnect the product and you will have to hack a lot to get it back on.
Overall, I think it is more a zero-client with no software choice flexibility than a true thin-client like wyse V30 which you can use many softwares to boot it.
Plus, you can get this thing dirty cheap from a Chinese vendor like NetStation, without software support though
