According to Gartner, PCWorld, StatCounter - as cool as mobile-first experience is, the personal computers market is strong and growing again (on the account of the mobile market) with 261.2 million units sold just for 2019, and total market size at ~$170 billion.

Combining technologies from three different markets (Desktop-As-A-Service, Thin Clients, Cloud Gaming), Rouster is the first company to fully utilize them to enter the Personal Computers Market.

The three adjacent markets are also well-performing, but nobody is about to enter the personal computers market too soon.

If you ever bought a computer, you already know how frustrating it is to pay lots of money, knowing that this computer is going to be old, slow, or even broken in just several years.

An average person goes through dozens of personal computers in their lifetime. Most of the time with multiple devices simultaneously, spending a lot of money and generating a tremendous amount of computer-related electronic waste.

Now let's imagine, you entering the store to buy your next computer. You can choose between a bulky expensive one or between a super cool, small, and powerful one. The later you take for nearly free and is certainly more powerful from the former.
