How to choose thin clients for a Unity programming class?

Question

Iron

Hello!
We organize Unity programming courses for children.
Now there is a choice - to buy laptops or use a thin client with a terminal.
I'll be honest - I'm a layman in such hardware, I just understand how it works conceptually :)
Actually, how to choose them? How to understand that they are suitable for our tasks? And what about the backend? Where to rent power? There are a lot of questions, actually. Thank you!

Desktops based on Ryzen 2400G will be cheaper than laptops with uncut processors and GTX 950M (everything older is noticeably more expensive), as well as a terminal + clients on Threadripper / Xeon with 3-4 video cards for 5-6 students with associated setup and support costs this farm.
