Most probably this will be Microsoft's response to Chromebooks in the classroom. Same concept but integrated with Microsoft Office, Outlook and whatever, something many schools are using on their Chromebooks already.

The entire shtick of Windows is it's userbase and app library on x86. Porting your app to Android tablets makes more sense than porting to Windows on ARM, and developing a PWA web app makes more sense than that. Power-user apps (including games) will definitely stay on Windows x86 for now, with Linux x86 being it's primary alternative.

This product will likely be for users who just use a web browser and want integration with Microsoft services with that, so mainly the educational field.

The cpu is in the same price bracket as Intel i5/i7. WOA runs all(except the ones that ship drivers like rootkits and drm) x86/64bit software.

I can also see sales people.

I know from a friend who worked at Brex that said they offered Chromebooks for people who just needed a web browser. That was mostly sales and support staff like HR.
