The blue band is the network round trip, estimated from distance rather than measured. Encoding, decoding and drawing the frame add to it — that part we have not measured, so it is left unmarked rather than guessed.
Choose how the processor is shared
Every class ships the same hardware menu and the same Windows Desktop 11 64-bit image. What changes is how the processor is shared — and the price moves with it.
Availability
Budget friendly
Workable for light desktop use, but shared processor time shows up as stutter when several applications are open at once.

Book by the hourAdd memory or cores for a heavy project and take them off when it ships — the change is made by hand on the same machine, usually within the hour.
What a session actually costs
A remote desktop is sized differently from a server. The question is not how much traffic it serves but how many people are sitting in front of it at once, and what each of them has open.
Windows takes its share first
The operating system wants memory before any of your users do. Size the machine as Windows plus your sessions, not as your sessions alone.
Each session is a whole desktop
A browser with thirty tabs costs the same here as it does on a laptop. Concurrency is a memory question long before it is a processor one.
Distance is felt directly
On a server a slow round trip delays a response. On a workstation it delays your cursor, which is a far lower tolerance — host as close to yourself as you can.
Where your server runs
All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server. Pick the region closest to you, not to your customers. This is the one machine where you feel the round trip yourself — it is the difference between a desktop that responds and one that lags behind your typing.
The Beaches has a data centre of its own. Every marker costs the same per month.
