Windows 365, as the name suggests, is Microsoft’s cloud PC offering<\/a> that is, of course, subscription-based. Essentially, the platform allows users to use virtual Windows PCs hosted in remote data centers, thereby reducing their own hardware requirements. <\/p>\n

It appears that Asus and Dell have now joined in on the fun, announcing their own mini PC lineups to cater to businesses that prefer the aforementioned cloud-based Windows 365 service over local systems. <\/p>\n

Remote eyes for cloud-based Windows<\/p>\n

Dell’s offering is named the Dell Pro Desktop for Windows 365<\/a>, and has been revealed to be powered by Intel N-series processors. Now, the Alder Lake-N family has a lot of members, ranging from the dual-core N50 to the relatively powerful octa-core Core 3-N305. It shouldn’t matter, however, since the only purpose the desktop will serve is to basically connect to Microsoft’s servers.. <\/p>\n

The Asus NUC 16<\/a> for Windows 365, on the other hand, appears to be far more compact, resembling a typical mini PC, coming in at just 0.7 liters. In fact, as pointed out by Liliputing<\/a>, it appears to sport the same design as the Panther Laker-powered NUC 16 Pro mini PC<\/a>. That said, Asus does not mention the exact processor powering the system, but we can easily expect it to be lower-tier one. <\/p>\n

Unlike Dell, Asus did mention a few more details – the system will pack DDR5 memory, HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and 2.5G Ethernet. Exact details regarding the USB and HDMI port were not offered, however. <\/p>\n

That said, typical consumers who would rather have a local system should check out something like the GMKtec M6 Ultra, currently enjoying a 33% discount<\/a> on Amazon.<\/p>\n
