“AI PCs bring three clear benefits over traditional PCs,” he said. Lores said latency, the lower cost of running AI locally instead of in the cloud, and not needing to upload data to the cloud are all strong lures for CIOs.
This answers jack shit of why the fuck people want AI at all.
True, these sound like the tech execs say when attempting to create the illusion of value, not actually useful innovation.
I want a working search engine. I want something to review my writing and suggest changes. I want high quality noise cancellation and background removal. I want high quality speech to text and text to speech.
These are the things I want from AI I don’t really want something training my every want and whim to provide me better ads. But the stuff I listed in the first paragraph here is really advantageous to most people I believe.
I want video live caption, so that’s one reason.
Live translation is pretty baller too
I’ve had that locally on my pixel 4 for years (without any Ai). Works in any app on any video without internet connection
The Pixel 4 has a Snapdragon 855 which does have a neural engine, which is similar to the AI engine used in AI laptops, so you’re just completely wrong there.
It’s funny how you can just find a relatable example like that, while all these billion dollar companies which are used to pulling shit out of their asses can’t find anything they really sellable.
Windows does advertise this feature, though. It’s the only thing that would make me even want an AI laptop.
I can’t speak for enterprise, but it seems everyone is scrambling to figure out AI. I wouldn’t buy any hardware right now as it’s the first gen of hardware that is supporting AI. Typically gen 2 sees big improvements when new tech is introduced.
Man, what a disappointing article, I remember El Reg for being real sharp journalism, not a partner page piece of crap.
Take this revolting example:Many of these PCs were bought during COVID and now we are four [or] five years after they were bought and they will have to be replaced.
Have to be replaced? Just for being 4 years old? Aside from the environmental impact, and aside from W11 being more shit than diarrhoea from a ceiling fan: these PCs work perfectly fine. For both my enterprise and entertainment purposes. New mainboards wouldn’t add much, and neither would W11, which biggest novelties are a broken control panel, a misplaced start menu and - for additional money - an unneeded and immature “AI” that will basically target me ads.
I feel like this article could be 1 sentence. Windows 11 is a piece of shit so people (including your IT department) don’t want to upgrade, and those that would just accept the upgrade are frequently limited by perfectly good machines which aren’t compatible.
Windows 11 is a piece of shit so people (including your IT department) don’t want to upgrade,
Deja vu
Just a few years ago:
Windows 10 is a piece of shit so people (including your IT department) don’t want to upgrade,
With time, the normies will acclimate to it, and Windows 11 will become “acceptable”. Just like all the other ones.
Please Microsoft! If you could improve the colors of the squares in teams that would be awesome! When I present a PowerPoint presentation I like to open it directly on browser next to my porn and I love to see lots of colorful squares all around the thing I’m trying to read to them. Incredibly useful! Please make the people squares a good 3 or 4 times the current size, that would help a lot! And don’t even try single button full screening anything for me! Fuck F11! Give me ctrl-Alt-prtscrn-elbow mash keypad. That’s the best combination!
