Thin Client support for Blast Extreme Protocol

With the development of the Blast/Blast Extreme protocol, is PCoIP protocol going to start to phased out?  I remember when RDP was no longer the option you wanted to use and had to buy new thin clients for PCoIP support. The Tera 2 have been out a number of years, still work great but at some point they replaced by something.  Does anyone know of some of zero model thin clients that will support Blast Extreme protocols?

The way it was explained in all of the documentation is that PCoIP will still be available in Horizon 7. It just won't be the newest way to do it and it will likely lose support in 5 years or so.(That last part was speculation based on the support lifecycle of VMware products)

I think the easy and economical answer to this would be a Chromebook.
