    These fuckers themselves have increased the price of PC components and now they have the gall to release this cloud-only PC to “alleviate the problem of the current market scenario”.

    I have a sneaking suspicion that these PCs will have some sort of protection so that nothing other than Win365 can run. Maybe a locked bootloader/secureboot?

      Yes. Very probably.

      Of course, no security mechanism lasts indefinitely in the hands of a persistent hacker with physical access.
