Hosted PCs are becoming more cost-effective compared to on-prem laptops, with Gartner stating that by 2027, 95% of workers will find virtual desktop solutions cost-efficient. The total cost of ownership for Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is already lower in many instances, particularly when combined with thin-client endpoints. Currently, most enterprises are adopting DaaS for specific use cases rather than complete replacements of PCs. DaaS is significantly affecting the use of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions, with organizations favoring DaaS implementations.
"Total cost of ownership for DaaS, especially when users couple it with thin-client endpoints, is now lower than that of a laptop PC for many use cases."
"Gartner rarely speaks to an organization that is planning to deploy a new on-premises VDI solution. Net-new deployments are almost exclusively using DaaS, and on-premises deployments are either migrating to DaaS or moving to a cloud control plane."
