A client device has a power system, an operating system, a single chip containing a memory, a memory controller, a central processing unit (CPU), and a peripherals interface, wherein the peripherals interface communicates with external ports over one or more communication buses; an I/O subsystem comprising a display controller, input controllers, a touch screen which includes a soft keyboard, network circuitry, HDMI display/audio, a BIO-reader sensor, a camera, ports, a CDROM drive, an optical sensor coupled to an optical sensor controller, a SATA disk; a disk RAID controller; a Bluetooth device; a Bluetooth controller; an antenna; RF circuitry connected to the antenna; a proximity sensor, an accelerometer coupled to one of the input controllers; and audio circuitry connected to a speaker and a microphone. The client device is used to gain access to a user-adaptable, user-configurable UI-server which is provisioned across a cloud computing environment.
