    The AI PC marketing campaign as of now is not good. What exactly is an AI PC?

    Many consumers are still uneasy with some AI use and just tagging this label onto a laptop doenst look to be increasing mindshare or moving units.

      It's a PC that has a decent NPU. By next year every PC will be an AI PC so it won't really matter.

      AI pc sounds like something so flaky that as a user you relegate all your powers to the overlords and become sumbissive in hoppes of obtaining what they thinkn is what you wantz.

      Well if the ads I saw during the SEC football games on TV were any indication apparently Intel and Dell think it’s campus food delivery bots.

    I'm sure the 25% tariffs to start are going to kill pretty much all laptop sales next year anyways. I don't think anything at all will be driving laptop sales.

    That won't stop Qualcomm from claiming AI turns a profit when reporting their earnings.

    So wait are people going to take this as the last chance to get a non-AI-infected computer? Or is the projection here that people are going to switch away from 10 because it’s going EOL?

    I don’t really think official support means much, I mean Windows is basically insecure as a platform whether or not it is getting patches, so who cares really? And I’d rather be infected by classic dumb viruses than Microsoft’s first party AI enhanced malware.
