Imagine spending 350 bucks on a device that turns into useless e-waste the second M$ changes their business strategy
$350 for a thin client locked out of doing anything useful and requiring a subscription to function?
For that price you can just get a raspberry pi 5, you can stream on it but also use it as a low end Linux machine
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!
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.
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 :)
