Oh, look who just rolled in! ππ»
Microsoft has unveiled the Windows 365 Link β a new "cloud-only" PC! π₯οΈπΎ This mini-computer comes with a budget Intel chip, 8 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of SSD storage. Sounds decent? Well, hereβs the catch: you canβt actually use them! Everything runs exclusively on the cloud-based Windows 365 OS.
π Size-wise, itβs slightly slimmer than the Mac mini with M4. As for ports, hereβs the rundown:
π₯οΈ One HDMI, one DisplayPort;
π Four USB 3.2 (three USB-A and one USB-C);
π§ A 3.5mm audio jack;
π Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6E for connectivity.
But donβt get too excited β no docking stations allowed. π«
πΈ The price tag? $350 for the device itself. But wait! To actually use it, youβll need a Windows 365 subscription, which maxes out at a jaw-dropping $3780 per year. Without internet, this PC becomes nothing more than an elegant, useless box. π€·ββοΈ
Would you give it a try, or is it a hard pass? π§π
