Microsoft just released its first 'Cloud PC' called the Windows 365 Link. This small mini-computer streams desktops from the Windows 365 Cloud PC service. The device costs about 450 US dollars (419 euros) in Germany. It targets businesses that want an easy way to use cloud computing safely.
The Windows 365 Link measures just 120 x 120 x 30 mm but packs many connection options. Thanks to its HDMI port and DisplayPort, you can hook up two 4K screens. The device also comes with four USB 3.2 ports, one of which is Type-C. It has an Ethernet port for the internet and a standard headphone jack.
You'll find good wireless tech inside, with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 support for connecting various accessories. The hardware includes an Intel N250 processor paired with 8GB of LPDDR5 memory. Storage consists of 64GB UFS, though that's not the main focus of this device.
Unlike regular computers, this mini-PC doesn't run programs locally or keep your files on the device. It serves as a gateway to the Windows 365 Cloud PC service, where all programs and data live remotely. This design makes the Link much safer than standard computers since hackers can't access local files or apps.
Microsoft claims the Link offers better security than regular PCs for cloud computing. The device works with Entra ID and supports FIDO USB security keys for extra protection. Buyers can find it in several countries, including the US, UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, through authorized resellers.
