The neo might be the start of the end of traditional home PCs. You buy a thin client and a monthly subscription and all of your files and compute is in the cloud.

Want to edit some raw video into a polished 20 minute video suitable for youtube? You don't open final cut pro, you tell your thin client to edit the raw video into a polished 20 minute video. Your monthly subscription includes AI and out pops an edited video.

It‘s capable enough not to be viewed as a Thin Client. Nor do I think many people want one.
Why would it be the end of traditional home PCs? If you can buy this much compute power for $600, who would pay a subscription for another computer?
Because AI needs so much more power and in particular RAM.
