I don't understand the advantages of this over a laptop (this is essentially laptop-grade hardware and thermal profile but without the screen & battery).
But ugly and taking up space, which is why the iMac exists and has been pretty successful for decades at this point.

Maybe, but performant AR glasses are changing that equation. The cyberdeck, as an ideal, still exists for a reason.

Do you? Is that law where you live? Because it's definitely not here in UK. I'd rather work on my trusty 4k than some shitty cheapo Dell only provided to tick a box.
So previously you would have a screen, mouse and keyboard at every desk and people would move a laptop (ignoring its low res screen and bad keyboard).
Here you would have just a screen at every desk and people move their mouse and keyboard.
Also, this does have a battery.
It has an “Optional...internal battery” that “lets you go between workspaces without rebooting”.
I could see the benefit if this thing dropped the keyboard entirely to make it as small as possible but still I'd rather just carry a small laptop.
100 svchost.exe processes, Croudstrike, Ivanti and one more antispyware for "compliance". Yes, no more power left for actual computation.
