This is the best summary I could come up with:
The $195 machine has the same hardware as the Fire Cube: the eight-core Arm-powered Amlogic POP1-G SoC, plus 2GB of LPDDR4 RAM, 10/100 ethernet, and a single USB-A 2.0 port.
Amazon Business – the B2B version of Jeff Bezos's digital souk – will ship the device to your door, and charge it to your AWS bill.
As AWS execs searched for a well-priced box, they considered the Fire TV Cube, found it fit the bill and noted it was already being made at scale.
Muneer Mirza, AWS's general manager for end-user compute, told The Register that up to 70 percent of laptops sent to remote workers in those fields are never returned.
Thin clients and virtual desktops have historically accounted for around six percent of the PC market, but some analysts predict strong growth.
If the WorkSpaces Thin Client delivers – The Register has been promised access to a device so hopes to opine on that matter – AWS could give this corner of enterprise computing a shake.
