How It Works
- Pick your plan
Choose the vCPU, RAM and storage you need — XS to XL. You can upgrade at any time from the dashboard in one click. No commitment, no hardware decision.
- We provision your desktop in minutes
Your Windows 10/11 Pro desktop is created in the data center region you choose — US, Europe or Asia. You get an email with your login URL and credentials. No IT setup required on your end.
- Connect — browser or Remote Desktop
Open your flexidesktop in any browser via HTML5 — no software to install. Or connect with the standard Microsoft Remote Desktop client for a native feel with local printer and file transfer support. Your desktop is always running, even when you’re not connected.
- Install your software, pick up where you left off
It’s a real Windows PC — install QuickBooks, AutoCAD, your scraping stack, or any other software exactly as you would on a local machine. Full admin rights by default. Everything persists between sessions.
Cloud Desktop vs Laptop: What Changes Day-to-Day
A physical laptop makes sense if you work offline all day or depend on local USB hardware. For everything else, a cloud desktop removes friction you’ve probably stopped noticing. New to the idea? Read what a virtual desktop is and how it works.
Scenario | Physical Laptop | flexidesktop |
|---|---|---|
Your laptop dies mid-project | Work stops. Data at risk. Repair or replace. | Log in from your phone, a borrowed laptop, anything with a browser. Desktop is exactly where you left it. |
You need to run a script or bot overnight | Laptop must stay on, lid open, not sleep. Power cable in. Hope the WiFi holds. | Your cloud desktop runs 24/7 regardless. Close your laptop, go to sleep. |
You work from multiple locations | Carry the laptop. Sync files. Manage which version is current. | Log in from anywhere. Same environment, same open files, every time. |
You need Windows but own a Mac | Boot Camp, Parallels, or a second machine. All have trade-offs. | Full Windows 11 Pro in a browser tab on your Mac. No partitions, no VMs. |
Hardware refresh cycle | $1,000–$2,000 every 3–4 years. Setup, migration, lost time. | Upgrade your plan in one click. Keep using the same thin device for years. |
Sensitive data on a stolen device | Company data lives on the disk. Encryption helps, but the damage is done. | Nothing stored locally. Stolen device = stolen hardware only. |
Who Is It For?
A flexidesktop for every kind of work
The individual plan is one dedicated Windows PC — yours alone. Here's who gets the most out of it.
Recommended: flexidesktop S or M
Freelancer or solo professional
The problem
You work across locations and devices. Your environment is never quite the same twice — files out of sync, software installed here but not there, processes killed when you close the lid.
Why it works
One always-on desktop that's identical no matter which device you use to connect. Close the browser at the café, reopen it at home — same tabs, same running apps, same files.
For founders and solo pros →Recommended: flexidesktop M or L
Accountant or finance professional
The problem
Your software (QuickBooks Desktop, Sage, tax suites) is Windows-only and often machine-locked. Moving to a new laptop means reinstalling, re-authorizing, and hoping the data migrates cleanly. Client data on a local disk is a compliance liability.
Why it works
Install QuickBooks once on your cloud desktop. It's always there, always licensed, daily backups included. Access it from any device — and client data never touches a local hard drive.
Virtual desktops for accountants →Recommended: flexidesktop S or M
Developer or automation engineer
The problem
You need bots, scrapers or scripts running 24/7 — but tying up your local machine means it can't sleep, travel or be updated. Cloud VMs from AWS or Azure are overkill and billed by the hour with egress fees that compound fast.
Why it works
A dedicated always-on Windows desktop at a flat monthly rate. Run your automation stack, RDP in to check on it. No surprise billing, no AWS console, full Windows compatibility.
Virtual desktops for developers →Recommended: flexidesktop L or XL
Mac user who needs Windows
The problem
Boot Camp is gone on Apple Silicon. Parallels works but costs money, slows your Mac and still needs a Windows license. Keeping a second Windows laptop just for one app is wasteful.
Why it works
Full Windows 11 Pro in a browser tab — no partitions, no virtual machine overhead on your Mac. Runs on our hardware, not yours. Open it when you need it, close it when you don't.
Run Windows on Mac →Also a good fit for: Virtual Assistants · Law Firms · Healthcare · 3D Designers · Cybersecurity
