    At least it should result in less laptops being made with ridiculously small amounts of non upgradable RAM.

    Requiring a large amount of compute power for AI is just stupid though. It will probably come in the form of some sort of dedicated AI accelerator that’s not usable for general purpose computing.

      And remember that your data and telemetry are sent to Microsoft servers to train Copilot AI. You may also need to subscribe to some advanced AI features

        And that’s when I’ll start using Linux as my daily driver.

        Honestly installing Ubuntu is almost idiot proof at this point.

          I do agree with you, the obstacle is that there are many applications that are not available on Linux or they’re not as powerful as on Windows. As for me is MS. Excel, many of my office clients use VBA in Excel spreadsheet to do calculations.
