By terminal your meaning your SQL is elsewhere right?
I’m running SQL express 2014. I’m using Intel NUC as my main system which is configured with SQL 2014. I also have two tablets acting as terminals. my setup is quit complex with two departments including custom delivery.
Not sure what you mean by shady way… I have previously tested Intel compute stick but I prefer this tiny PC. This tiny PC is not released in the market, managed to get my hands on for evaluation.
