It’s not much cheaper than an equivalent laptop, so who’s this for, exactly?

    Here’s a random use case for this: retirement homes. A laptop is too unergonomic for an old person. But they don’t want to take up the space in their little apartments with a big desktop setup. They’re happy to go to a computer lab. But a shared computer introduces complication. But I have to admit it’s a pretty narrow slice of that population that is sufficiently motivated to use a computer. Also they’d be better served with ChromeOS than Windows. You could have a ChromeBox that runs by plugging in a single USB cable and plug it into a monitor with a built in hub and a normal keyboard.
