Microsoft built a PC that can’t run local apps


Prefer to offload all your Windows tasks to the cloud? Microsoft may just have the compact, desk-bound computer for you: Windows 365 Link.

Set to come to “select markets” in April of next year for the suggested retail price of $349, Windows 365 Link boots quickly (“in seconds,” Microsoft says), “instantly” wakes from sleep, and sports a number of display and peripheral ports. You’ll find support for dual 4K monitors, four USB ports, audio and Ethernet jacks, and the standard array of wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3). The company notes that businesses can manage (and wipe) Windows 365 Link units remotely, and configure them to automatically check for, download, and install updates.
