    I think hardware as a service will be their next thing, raise the cost of parts so people buy a cheap sub then increase the aubscription year by year.

      Agree. I think MS and Google selling more cheap “cloud laptops” could totally be a thing. The personal device would mostly be a screen and bare bones components

        I feel like it could even be chromecast like devices which just plug into a screen and connect to server, cheap hardware sold at a loss to rope you into a sub.
