I want less microsoft/copilot in things, not more. I don't know who this is for.

I don't understand the advantages of this over a laptop (this is essentially laptop-grade hardware and thermal profile but without the screen & battery).

It's for businesses that don't need high computation, achieving effectively the same "monitor and keyboard" effect as the iMac; and for people using AR glasses like XReal One, Viture, etc.

> Launch Microsoft Copilot in Windows with a touch of the Copilot key,4 to write content, analyze data, and stay organized. Oh thank goodness. This whole product idea is further trying to gatekeep computing hardware. You will pay a cloud subscription to perform anything remotely computationally taxing.

Some want to use their brain.

Do you market Copilot?

I actually love the concept. It's effectively like the iMac, except more flexible and serviceable - great for kiosks and shared workstations.

One could also couple it with AR glasses like the XREAL One and have portable computing but more immersive (although it looks a little big for that).

I don't understand the scepticism - surely it's good that we see some experimentation again on the form factor of computing, we cannot just accept that the laptop is all we'll ever get. Yeah, the copy is stupid, but that's just marketing.

I'd like to own things and have control over what I can and can't do on a computer.

Incorrectly advertising battery capacity as 32W instead of (presumably) 32WH is a hilarious mistake for a company the size of HP

I mean at least they didn't use mah. I am surprised it actually have a battery in it I thought you would have to plug it in to use it.

In a few years, there will be more (relative} gold in thriftshop keyboard sludge-piles.

Yep. Found my cyberdeck, a couple years out!

making a beowulf cluster out of keyboards, maybe that's the future given the increasing scarcity around computer parts...

AMD Ryzen AI 300 These are great . The Ryzen AI series are the ones that allow memory to be shared between the GPU and CPU, so you can use almost all your system RAM to run local models. The AI 395+ MAX is available with up to 128Gb RAM (and I think 256Gb is coming). The important thing is how much RAM it comes with because it is soldered - and for some reason this doesn't seem to show the RAM!

If you scroll further down, there's an image of a woman holding an opened keyboard with a SODIMM in her other hand so I'd guess that means it's user-swappable.

Concentration of compute will be used as a vehicle for further concentration of power and wealth.

Nah by then the collapse of jobs will have freed up 10s of millions with access to guns. Lots of guns.
