You can lease a laptop for that kind of money that can actually run a browser well. I was actually looking at some offers for a macbook air on grover.com. They have an m1 / 8gb one for 48/month if you reserve it for a year. Great laptop for browsing. You can get cheaper laptops there.
Basically this product was a solution looking for a problem. The pricing is ridiculous of course. But I don't see how a lower price would have solved that problem. And the pricing was tied to them basically using very expensive VMs (16 cores, lots of RAM, GPU). And since they struggled with quality of service issues (i.e. it did not actually work that well), the whole thing was doomed. But even if it had worked, it would basically still be a solution looking for a problem.
