Even if subsidised they would still be terrible as a work machine lol. The hardware is not good. Work machines are almost always i7s at a minimum.
Remember that these machines are neutered to keep under a tiny power draw.
The hardware is terribly overpriced for a work pc. There are many far superior work desktops for far cheaper.
Not a good one, that’s for sure. Should’ve just eaten the losses and cancelled it, or sold it at a big loss since they make money off every game it plays.
Hardware wise, the Series X beats this with ease. It’s not even close.
It’s got nothing to do with thinness like the article carry’s on and on about, but everything to do with the fact it’s a plastic screen and using a stylus on it is only going to end in damaged screens.
As long as you use AMD, as Intel and Nvidia are not supported yet.
Intel NUCs have existed for like a decade at this point.
You’d be much better off just using moonlight from your pc to any other device, but seems like you want to buy it no matter the pointlessness haha. I’ve been there, but not at this price.
Vote out the authoritarian, surveillance loving, censor happy, incompetent ALP, and never let them near power again.
My brother just leased a Model Y, which is about $65k drive away. On a 5 year lease, the trade in value is $10k.
That gives you a pretty good idea about how well the value is expected to hold - terribly.
There is no subsidy here, people need to stop spreading these lies.
What this “subsidy” actually is, is a refund of the “road tax” that is added to the price of diesel to cover the upkeep etc of roads that the vehicle using the diesel drives on. Why do they get this rebate? Because they don’t use the roads.

If people only need a browser and office suite and adobe, a $200 computer will do that just as well. No need to spend USD$1000.
There is basically no use case for this machine at the price that it is.
