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).

You don't have to pay for the small laptop screen. That makes it cheaper, smaller, lighter, in theory.

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

You beat me to it. 32W, but for how long? 8 hours? 11 seconds? 32W would be true in both cases.

5 attoseconds

> 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.

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

The complete lack of autonomy.

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!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It has an optional battery. This could be pretty epic for a glasses interface.

So a real cyberdeck then? (Case's Ono-Sendai was a plain slab with a keyboard and interface for the "trodes" that communicated directly with your brain.)
