      Because $350 couldn’t possibly buy enough hardware to run a modern operating system!

      • Microsoft, probably

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Imagine spending 350 bucks on a device that turns into useless e-waste the second M$ changes their business strategy

    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.
