There are two things I like:
- AI grifts failing
- Cheap aarch64 laptops
This story has it all!
*actively don’t want
This. There’s a huge difference between not caring and intentionally avoiding.
Can’t wait to buy a laptop with an NPU and a bunch of ram to run private LLMs on. Just gotta be patient. 🙃
Oh, I care. I would not buy one.
💯
If I see “AI” on a product (like those weird “AI” mice) I put it down and select another.
I came here to say this.
That’s because I want my computer to do what I tell it to, not to fucking guess.
Your computer has placed 1 order for Guess brand jeans.
I’m waiting for all AI “features” to be isolated onto a single chip which I can just reach into the case with a pair of plyers and crush into dust
Then you’d juat have to deal with errors from processes expecting it to be there. Probably better to instead not use software that implements it, which I assume you’re doing anyway.
also no one has money to buy new laptop
I bought mine in the fall, and holy smokes, the same model costs 30% more now.
Absolutely insane.
Trump did that
also no one has money
to buy new laptopFTFY
As they write in the article… What’s a compelling app? In fact what even uncompelling software (copilot aside) makes use of this?
It’s because people into AI are using GPUs
They dont get that people want AI hardware that can also run games
Ugh, I don’t want to be forced to build a laptop to avoid all this battery blasting garbage.
Is it even feasible to build your own laptop? As far as I know most of the laptop builds are proprietary.
It was as of 10 years ago, but I abandoned the project while in its infancy because it was such a headache. I’d fully believe that the practice died out, and the market with it.
If you boot aarch64 linux instead, you’ll actually get amazing battery life on these. And probably better app support than Windows ARM
