25/mo = 300/year... if you figure that box is equivalent to a 1200$ laptop = 4 years... except you don't have to pay up front and you get to upgrade to more mod

25/mo = 300/year... if you figure that box is equivalent to a 1200$ laptop = 4 years... except you don't have to pay up front and you get to upgrade to more modern hardware as it comes out.
The flip side is you need a fast internet connection and a relatively cheap endpoint laptop.
I don't know, doesn't seem like a good deal to me, but it's not a ridiculous idea. Being able to timeshare the expensive hardware would be a good thing.
- fastball 6y agoFinancing expensive computers is pretty cheap, especially with a corporate account. I mean I get 12-24 mo, 0% financing on all Apple products with my Apple Card.
- gpm 6y agoWhen you're financing a computer, you're still stuck with it if you stop wanting it. Not paying up front here means you can cancel your service at any time and not have to continue paying, you can upgrade to the new faster computer the second it comes available for the same price. Etc.
