> It's only been a recent trend, and it's more to experiment with new form factors and nudge the PC ecosystem in right direction more than anything else. > And the recent trend is for software companies to start making their own hardware (AWS making Graviton, Echo products,and Google making TPUs, Pixel) while hardware companies move into software (Apple moving into Apple Music, TV, News).
