You can buy an actual computer that can run a local OS and office suite for less. This product is ridiculous.

This is for the enterprise. Thin clients are very common.

Yeah, but the rationale for thin clients is that the client is cheap. This is anything but cheap, you can get a reasonably powerful MiniPC for a lot less and still set it up as a thin client if you like.
