  Reminds me at the time when the Uni at my library was a Sun shop and I had my own https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Ray https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Ray and a Sun server under my desk. We were hoping we could use Sun Rays instead of Windows for computers that patrons use to access the online catalog but after the collapse of Netscape 4 and before Mozilla rebranded as Firefox you could not get a modern web browser to build on Solaris.

  the title is a bit misleading... it's a thin client, not a full PC.

  That's a proprietary thin client, not a PC.

  Why wouldn’t you just use a Raspberry Pi if you wanted a cloud terminal?
