What’s ironic is that the local llm/diffusion communities will not touch these. They’re just too slow, and impossibley finicky to set up with models big enough for people to actually want.
AMD’s next gen could change that, but they’ve already poisoned the branding. Good job.
I got one for a good price a few months ago to replace my dying Surface Pro 3.
No regrets, but I love it for the speed and the screen, not all the AI bullshit.
No issues no my end with ARM; it doesn’t play games well but I have a gaming PC for that.
It’s a double whammy. No one wants AI. No one likes Windows 11.
Because AI still sucks. It’s incredibly unuseful for day to day operations, and only useful in very specific scenarios that I, personally, only need access to it like 2-3 times a year. It’s not worth having it on my personal devices when I can just go to chatgpt website or something when I want to give it a shot.
What the hell do I need a laptop with an NPU for? I can write my own emails and documents. I don’t give a crap about the paint and notepad AI additions. I seriously cant think of any use case for copilot plus.
