Why would I pay so much for such thing?
Because $350 couldn’t possibly buy enough hardware to run a modern operating system!
- Microsoft, probably
I would say Win11 runs rather well even on old crappy devices. If they let it run on it :)
Or just use linux and dont worry.
640K ought to be enough for everybody.
Almost every cloud based device I’ve ever owned ended up either putting an increasing number of basic features that were originally free behind a subscription paywall or simply turned itself into a brick when it stopped being supported.
No one here is talking about the subscription that will come with it…
If it streams from someone’s else computer,you will have to pay for that “service”…
Why pay Windows once when you can pay it every month!
This feels way too expensive for what is a dumbed down device. Maybe $50-$100, but you would still end up paying quite a bit for something that requires a subscription.
For the price they are asking, you could get a desktop with OK performance that will be free forever after that.
Imagine spending 350 bucks on a device that turns into useless e-waste the second M$ changes their business strategy
i think this is the most stupid product i have ever heard of. I can’t help but imagine the unholy latency of transferring files from “your computer” to an external storage.
But for that you can buy a mini PC that runs it locally. What the fuck is this even for?
Corporates. 60€/month is an acceptable price for them.
I thought this was a mini-pc to compete with the mac mini, until I realized its streaming only. I’d much rather cough up the extra $250 for the insane jump in power that the mac mini gives you.
Goodbye privacy
No thanks. I do want the large wifi enabled suppository that probably comes with it 😉. I can use that in times of loneliness and despair.
It looks pretty ig
