Accessing AVD Pools via Thin Client / Thin OS Options

Looking for some recommendations on hardware / Thin Client running a Thin OS to be used to access Azure Virtual Desktop Virtual Machine Pools from classrooms with multiple monitors
 
I've looked at Chromebooks, but being a laptop design, wouldnt be the best fit to have to mount under desks and run wires to monitors / keyboard / etc. I also saw ChromeBoxes, but havent actually used / worked with one.
 
Also looked at and have experience with Intel NUCs running Stratodesk Thin OS.
 
Looking for any other recommendations... Appreciate any assistance.

    Sorry for the late response, If you are still looking, IGEL OS can be used on any x86 hardware (PC, thin client from any vendor/laptop) to access AVD/Windows 365. 
    Read more on https://virtualbrat.com (my personal blog in IGEL + AVD/W365 etc) and http://www.igel.com

     

    Reach out if you have any questions!
