You aren’t wrong. But what you just described is exactly why most companies choose thin clients.

No customization, no unauthorized software installs, no distractions for staff and they will just run forever without major updates. All IT has to do is maintain a server or offsite cloud environment.

Would I personally want one… no. But I can see this as an alternative to non techie people who just need a cheap computer for email, web browsing and the occasional word document.

Walk into any office or business that runs off the cloud or a local server and they will likely have dozens… I mean dozens of these lying around.

I know the gaming community looks at these like a vampire looks at a rosary but it isn’t new tech or even a new concept.
