Desktop or laptop? Do you need peripherals included? Honestly for under $500 I'd highly suggest looking at refurbished machines. You'll be able to pick up an off-lease Dell or Lenovo or HP system for < $300.
I'd guess all the amd64/x86 boards? Udoo and LattePanda have boards that would meet that criteria. You're going to step into a new price bracket running AMD or Intel though.
This is a worse experience than a phone on every way I can think of. For a moment I thought maybe it could be a good solution for visually impaired people, but then I saw the laser projection screen. This seems doomed to be e-waste.
As wraithcoop suggested, you can install additional software like rectangle to do the job. But why is that necessary in 2023? Window snapping has existed forever on Linux DEs and Windows since Vista.
I'm amazed at how many professionals use Macs because Apple seems to hate power users. I had to use a Mac briefly recently and was amazed to find they still don't have window snapping.
It also had no idea what to do with my monitor, couldn't even detect the correct resolution. I'm guessing if I had bought a $3000 Apple monitor it would have worked immediately. But had to dive into "advanced settings" just to set the correct resolution.
If they wanted to make browsers less secure, they would do so in much more obvious ways.
The new proposal demands browsers automatically trust government created root certificates. That means any EU government can do a man-in-the-middle attack on any end user running that web browser, even users in other countries. There is no reason to do that other than to spy on people or to manipulate the content that they're viewing.
If any government, or company for that matter, wants to make their own root cert and deploy it to all their users/machines they can already do that easily. A lot of companies that work with sensitive data already do this, and some companies (ex: symantec) provide solutions to do it very easily, so the IT team can see everything the users are doing.
This is what the company valued itself as being worth. Not what it's actually worth. So I'm not sure if Elon is trying to over or under value here, but I'm guessing over.
You've described a big part of why I hate startup culture. "Let's build cool thing then sell it to a huge company and get rich." I'm never doing it again, such a waste of time and energy.
