What happens when you create one
You pick a plan and press the button. In about 2 seconds you have a Linux computer with root. Install anything with apt or Docker, connect over SSH with your key, or open it in Uno Work from a browser.
The disk is yours: repositories, packages and caches stay between sessions. Files you want to keep apart from the computer go to cloud storage, which stays even if you delete the computer.
What happens when nobody uses it
With nothing to do for 10 minutes, the computer falls asleep. Its memory is saved together with every running program, so an open terminal or a half-finished session is still there when it wakes.
A long job keeps it awake: an agent working through the night or a build that takes an hour does not get cut off. Every hour a computer sleeps earns you one boost.
What happens when a request comes
A visitor opens your site, a message reaches your bot's webhook, or you open the computer. Uno wakes it and passes the request on. In our measurement on 3 October 2026, half of all wake-ups finished within 118 ms end to end; restoring the memory itself took a median 12 ms.
What happens when you need more
Use a boost: an hour at a bigger size. A Plus computer goes from 4 to 8 GB for a big build or a video, then returns. For steady growth, move to a bigger plan; files and settings come with you.
How fast it is
Every core is the same on every plan; bigger plans get more of them. In Geekbench 6, 10,449 points on 8 vCPU puts an Uno computer level with a MacBook Air M2, and 16 vCPU level with a MacBook Air M4.
Geekbench 6, multi-core
Higher is better. Uno computers against MacBook averages.

| Option | points | Shape |
|---|---|---|
| Uno, 16 vCPU (Pro) | 15,488 | Measured August 2026 |
| MacBook Air M4 | 14,924 | Geekbench Browser average |
| Uno, 8 vCPU (Plus with a boost) | 10,449 | Measured August 2026, inside an Uno computer |
| MacBook Air M2 | 9,684 | Geekbench Browser average |
Measured in August 2026 on an idle server, results public: 8 vCPU, 16 vCPU. vCPU are shared, so with busy neighbours the score dips.
A second MacBook in the cloud, for $70 a month
Pro gives you 16 vCPU and 16 GB: the speed of a MacBook Air M4 that keeps working while your own laptop is closed.

What it does not do
- No dedicated cores: vCPU are shared with other computers on the server, so speed dips when neighbours are busy.
- No GPU inside the computer.
- One region today: the Netherlands.
What it costs
From $5 a month for Small. Plus at $20 adds Uno Work in the cloud, so agents keep working with your laptop closed. Compare the plans on Pricing.
