      That’s a lot of money for a thin client that can’t connect to a local server. I would rather use a terminal over a 300 baud acoustic coupler modem than this piece of e-waste.

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

          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.

            Now that i see it cannot connect to AVD the value prop is a bit confusing but … show me another pre-configured enterprise grade device that can connect to my organization M365 with minimal effort from the admin or user.

      Not even a chromebook. You can play local videos off a Chromebook (or access files) if you don’t have access to the internet.
