Thanks for the shoutout :) (Paperspace cofounder here) Just to followup a bit - we let you run an full desktop computer in a web browser (we host the machine for you, so its fully managed). This means you can turn a macbook air or chromebook into a powerful machine. If battery is a concern, it might be a great fit.

We are still in a closed beta but shoot me an email dte@paperspace.io if that sounds interesting.

That sounds interesting, but what is the usage you expect your customers to make out of it? If it's for number crunching, I can rent a powerful VM for Digital Ocean or similar company; I don't think it will work for video games since I expect a small lag between sometimes.

Also, it's dependent of having an internet connection, which is not always the case.
