Microsoft's own fanless NUC




Coming in April 2025: The $349 Windows 365 Link, a tiny desktop computer powered by an unspecified Intel processor. "It’s compact, lightweight, and designed to maximize productivity with its highly responsive performance. It takes seconds to boot and instantly wakes from sleep, allowing users to quickly get started or pick up where they left off on their Cloud PC. With dual 4K monitor support, four USB ports, an Ethernet port, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3". The mini PC is cloud-based, which means that your files are stored on third-party servers, raising concerns about data privacy and security (Who really owns your data in a cloud-based system? Who has the authority to allow or deny access to your files?). On top of that, the Windows 365 Link is subscription-based. Hard pass.
