The 4 vCPU 16 GB RAM range from 0.32-0.39 $/hour With 8 hours per day and 22 workdays per month its at most 68.64$.

Your price includes the "workstation cluster fee", whatever that includes. Anyways this fee is fixed and does not increase for more workstations.

1 Dev => 68.64 + 144

100 Devs => 100 * 68.64 + 144

I guess $70, or even $140 with better hardware, might be worth it in some szenarios.

Personally, I'd never want to work with a company that doesn't trust me with a regular notebook.

The value proposition has nothing to do with trust.

Not trusting someone with a regular laptop is common practice in enterprise consulting.

Either a VM accessible via citrix, RDP, X Windows, Bastille,.... or a throw away laptop locked down to the project.

The use case for this would be a cheap device that’s thin and light and has excellent battery life hooked up to a cloud machine that is very powerful.

It could also be used to do wfh without having to bring your company laptop or mix your personal data.
