The primary aim behind the development of the CloudGate is to offer 'a new era of desktop computing'; a daring exploit used as the slogan. Yet, let's be honest, who wouldn't give anything to not have to cart around the heavy boxes accompanying current desktop computers? I know I would. And apparently I'm not the only one.

This demand has now been met by the ever- inventive Cloudware developers. Jonathan Young, head of product at Cloudware, had this to say about their latest piece of work:

"The desktop PC has dominated the office for nearly 40 years, but it's outlived its usefulness. It makes no economic or management sense to put all that processing power and storage into a standalone machine that will never run at more than a fraction of its capacity.

I am, however, persuaded that many companies can and will benefit from the use of the CloudGate.

All you need is an HD screen, USB keyboard and mouse and you're good to go!
