"Amazon Transforms Fire TV Cube into Affordable Thin Client for Desktop Computing"

Amazon has launched new thin client devices that resemble the Fire TV Cube, allowing enterprise users to access virtual desktop environments like Amazon WorkSpaces. Priced at $195, the thin clients aim to replace expensive desktops and laptops, offering a more cost-effective solution. The devices offload processing power to the AWS Cloud, ensuring data security even if the device is lost or stolen. IT departments can remotely manage the devices and configure groups with their own policies and access controls. The thin clients support on-device authentication and integration with Amazon's virtual desktop services. They can be ordered preconfigured, enabling quick setup compared to traditional laptops or computers.
