I will be doing a very special belly laugh when “AI PCs” die on their arse, costing the folks who blindly trend-follow a boatload of cash https://www.theregister.com/2024/11/14/ai_pc_shipments/
@sinbad Aren't most PCs "AI capable" nowadays?
Mobile CPUs already contain a NPU, and desktop GPUs also have AI features.
Probably most people who have a PC/laptop that's still good enough won't upgrade just for AI, but if you need a new machine anyway, it 1. is getting harder to avoid and 2. most people probably *will* buy one with AI features, just in case that becomes important in the future (like Win12 requiring it)
@Doomed_Daniel yeah they’re just some low power GPU cores basically. Waste of space but let them try to add a nice premium on the machine if they can sell it to some mug
