This makes less than no sense, for $349 you can easily buy a computer that can stream a desktop, hell any computer capable of streaming another computer is inherently capable of offline work, this has absolutely no value add to anyone except Microsoft and not even that since people can make literally any other choice.
No matter what we said about it. There will be people who will eagerly put their mouth on Microsoft’s asshole, waiting to swallow any removed products that Microsoft shit out
Yet people keep making fun of Apple for putting the power button on the bottom.
At least it works offline.
in tiny fonts: the data you upload to the cloud will be used for AI training purposes
Pretty sure I can sell my laptop for that amount
Without a subscription right… Right?
So… dumb terminal are back in?
Hot damn boys, I’ll see ya on the RS-232 relays!
Thin clients are awful in every aspect, always.
Nice, more e-waste… Also, if it’s just streaming from the cloud, how is it so expensive? Its on the same range as a steam deck.
There is absolutely zero reason a thin client needs to cost this much, unless this has some seriously high-end multi-monitor capabilities
Even a Raspberry Pi 5 is a capable thin client that can run 2 4k monitors
😎 profit, synergy, enterprise, buzzword.
You forgot AI!
Words can’t express how much I don’t want this.
The article mentions this is aimed at enterprises who are already probably doing something like this with vmware ESXi
Doubt it’ll ever catch on with anything except maybe the largest of orgs. You can just procure office task ready machines so cheaply these days, and Windows 365 is like $45/user/month. Far more than what we pay for windows licensing, user Cals, and office licensing all combined.
Yep for managing “thin clients” I’d been expecting something like this someday.
😨
It’s a thin client…
But it’s a new and revolutionary thin client. It’s got 365 in the name, anyway.
It’s new and revolutionary in that it’s worthless because you can only run Microsoft shit on this and makes you lock yourself 100% in with a vendor notorious for not giving a single shit about customers
99.9% of consumers couldn’t care less.
It has begun
