Yes, that's a shame that 7.2 doesn't work on the T520.
Is it possible to install the AVD client anyway?

Typical cluster by HP.  The T420 is inferior hardware to the T520 yet the T420 gets 7.2.  The T520 can run it - you can load the image on it and it says "unlicensed"  shame on you HP for ignoring your customers that paid a lot for these thin clients

Hi,

HP-ThinPro-7-2-OS-will-be-available-on-select-devices-this-December.494945.0.html

Says HP ThinPro 7.2 -- HP's OEM'd build of Ubuntu -- is late.

Your original article didn't address the key question of existing HP ThinPro 7 users -- Has HP yet updated the release of Ubuntu that ThinPro is based-on to a more recent Ubuntu release than 16.04LTS that is now very long in the tooth?

HP corrected their HP 7.2 Datasheet GetDocument.aspx?docname=4AA7-8412ENW.  Before September last year, it referred to it as "ThinPro 2".  HP's own, updated, Datasheet, doesn't say what release of Ubuntu ThinPro 7.2 is based-on.  Perhaps it has told it's big corporate clients so that they can plan, but January 2021, the rest of us are still guessing.

HP's Thin Client OS Official Site thin-clients/operating-systems.html still says "coming soon" for the Datasheet BTW.

I'm no journalist, but the fact that HP were advertising Product Manager of Thin Clients in Texas last year, and seeing some CVs, didn't amount to a ramping-up of the division.

HP ThinPro 7.2 is late.  The new feature list ticks the corporate box but is thin on may fronts compared with HPs rivals in Thin Client computing.  And ThinPro 7.2 is an unknown quantity for any small business developing or supporting around the release of Ubuntu HP are basing the long-awaited 7.2 on.

Any chance they could work on their shady, proprietary BIOSes in EliteBooks/ZBooks to make it openly available and decouple it from Windows?

A bit overpriced, but the 14 inch one running linux is interesting... What battery life can we expect though? And is it full access to Ubuntu/Debian stuff? Like can it load up SPICE client?

HP has unveiled the latest version of its ThinPro OS for enterprise devices. ThinPro 7.2 has a locked file system and SecureBoot signing for added security. It also supports a host of virtual desktop environments like Citrix and VMWare. HP will announce ThinPro 7.2's price once it is released this December.
