Is it? Or is that an advantage for office? Where people only need a browser, ms office suite, and probably adobe pdf. Heck, I bet software development work can be done there. Some light CAD (emphasis on light), and maybe even some graphic design work (not video editing tho). Office also cares about efficiency and with the right consumer it is appealing to have 150-200W power sip compared to 200-350W when you install 50-100s of them.

If people only need a browser and office suite and adobe, a $200 computer will do that just as well. No need to spend USD$1000.
There is basically no use case for this machine at the price that it is.
Do you even read the premise? The premise is that if they are subsidized. So imagine the same spec for 500-600
