The wireless charger is kind of weird. Those things generate a decent amount of heat and seem like something you’d want to buy separately and upgrade every few years rather than being stuck in a desktop.

I’d say they are mostly meant for organizations who naturally are not IT-heavy (schools, healthcare) who are looking for cheap computers that are easily maintained (as everything happens in the browser) and that work for employees who don’t like or lack the expertise to babysit a computer. These are likely the same people that would never even think about upgrading a charger. Until now they just borrowed their coworkers $3 charger and now they can just put their phone on top of their computer.
