Generally, companies don't want users to install applications on companies' PCs or change settings. Anyway, entry-level Windows PCs cost about $350. They aren't better if you want your employees to use Windows 365 anyway. And if one PC is infected with a virus, it may be spread to all PCs in the same network.

I don't get this. an entry level PC or laptop is far better for the price, and this'll eventually be a brick. You can do the desktop sharing thing just fine with a real computer.

Companies that use HTTPS proxies can track Internet activities of their employees, even if they use HTTPS. For example, if your company uses an HTTPS proxy, and you use your company's device to log in to your bank website, your company can see your username and password.

But if you work in extremely big company and see that someone were employed because they have the skill the company want, but have very bad knowledge about computer, you will understand this..... To imagine.... Imagine if you're 100 years old grandparent able to sell 10x more than regular dude. Good in sales, but can't really use computer.
This is the kind of computer for them

This is stupid - or maybe not, since it allows corporations to see employee's data more easily. Anyway, still an overpriced potato.

This will be good in place like airport & hotel. And also in big company too.
With no technical support needed, this will be "cheap" to maintain.
