We are updating the site to be more clear, so thanks for the feedback!

And you are correct. We provide you a desktop OS that we deliver directly to a web browser. Unlike traditional remote desktop protocols (i.e. maybe you have VPNed into your work computer from home, for example) we are developing a high-performance streaming protocol that makes this machine feel like its right in front of you.

I might just be dumb, but I was having trouble understanding what the purpose of the Paperweight was. The above comment sorted me out, but I didn't get that understanding from your site.

Again though, I might just be dumb.

Paperspace founder here. So sorry that the copy is confusing--we've been really struggling with this but that's exactly what is going on. Paperweight is just a really cheap/dumb computer that connects with our servers that do all the heavy lifting. We prototyped a lot on the Pi, very similar setup. Any ideas on how to improve the copy would be appreciated...

Thanks for the response. I thought the video explained a lot of what was lacking on the page. I would just distill it down to two points:

* Paperspace gives you a private computer in the cloud. You can access this private computer with any web browser.

* The paperweight is a $50 machine that does only one thing: run a web browser you can use to get to your paperspace cloud computer.

I am obviously not a good copy writer so those sentences are boring, but I think that's what I'd want to know when visiting your page.
