> Device longevity is also a concern. Microsoft hasn't told us anything about its mini PC's internal hardware—components like the CPU, RAM, storage, and power supply are a mystery. We don't know if this machine is upgradable or repairable, we don't know which CPU architecture it uses, and we don't know if it can be converted into a standard Windows or Linux PC. It's hard to justify a $350 mystery box when traditional mini PCs from Dell, Lenovo, and other brands sell for far less, and are incredibly easy to upgrade or repair.
At $350, I don't see why IT departments wouldn't just buy low-cost mini-PCs that they can actually administer and control. This seems like a tie-in to MS that is fraught with peril if / when they shut down support for accessing 365 online.
