"Designed for Gemini Intelligence" is the primary marketing tag on the splash page. It's so underwhelming I'm not even going to bother to look into the details. Are people pleading for a laptop that is even more highly integrated with AI, above all else?

Apple's copy on the other hand is generally excellent.

- porphyra 5mo agoSomehow all the Windows laptops are now "Copilot PCs" now. It's crazy... Anyway, you didn't miss out on anything by not bothering to look into the details. There are no details. No specs, no nothing. Only "get notified" for when it comes in fall.
