"ASUS's model is the NUC 16 for Windows 365. Readers may recall that "NUC" stands for Next Unit of Computing, a brand Intel coined for a range of PCs it and later sold to ASUS. After the Taiwanese company acquired NUCs, ASUS told The Register it wanted to take the machines into new markets."
"Microsoft says tweaks to the minimalist "Cloud CPC" OS that runs on the machines will add support for pairing Bluetooth devices "during the out-of-box experience" and support for custom branding on the sign-in screen."
"The software giant suggests these devices as especially secure and manageable, because they don't require users to store anything on the device or on-premises - apps and data are all in Azure."
"Microsoft cares about this stuff because around ten percent of PCs used by businesses are virtual. Analyst firm Gartner thinks that number will double by 2027 because cloudy virtual PCs accessed through"
Microsoft has expanded its Windows 365 cloud PC ecosystem by partnering with Dell and ASUS to manufacture dedicated devices. ASUS's NUC 16 for Windows 365 features Intel processors, DDR5 memory, Wi-Fi 6E, and support for three displays in a compact 0.7-liter form factor. Dell's Pro Desktop for Windows 365 similarly supports multiple displays. Microsoft has enhanced the Cloud CPC operating system with Bluetooth pairing during setup and custom sign-in branding. These devices store all applications and data in Azure rather than locally, offering enhanced security and manageability. Microsoft projects business virtual PC adoption will double from ten percent to twenty percent by 2027.
