I don’t know if it has a subscription per se, but holy crap/crab

    I have the 2450 with a 22” screen. While I can use it without the internet, I really enjoy running along with a trainer and virtually going to the most amazing places on the planet. I honestly won’t use it if I can’t have that feature.

      Ok I can see how some people want that feature.

      Me, I just put a movie on and run while watching it. I have never had a trainer - virtual or otherwise.

        In addition to what SCB said, it also changes elevation and speed along with the trainer. It’s pretty impossible to replace this experience with YouTube.

        That sounds significantly more expensive and difficult to set up, for an inferior experience.

        His machine allows him to virtually run through these places or be streamed a live trainer, neither of which the tablet allows.

          Yes, I’m sure it’s a great feature for some people, but that doesn’t excuse a device being non-functional without that account. Hopefully there is a big warning somewhere but I doubt it

        I don’t really get into YouTube while running because I don’t want to be messing with the iPad once I start running. Perhaps a one hour video?
