What nobody seems to mention: one of the reasons the marketing is hearing up is the fact that once Windows 10 goes out of support next year, there will be plenty of folks (but not everyone) wanting to replace their "unsupported hardware." All the CPU/PC vendors want a big slice of that pie.
Brad! It was lovely seeing you on Hands-on Windows this week! I actually never knew you worked for Stardock. It would be lovely seeing you on Windows Weekly in the near future
It hurt me every time I replaced a perfectly good machine simply because it wasn't supported on Windows 11. I get that they have to move the platform forward, but man. 7th gen Intel chips are still plenty good enough for lots of needs. We ended up converting most of them to Linux workstations, so they weren't junked - thankfully.
I bought an HP ENVY X360 15' AMD Ryzen 5 7530U and it was the only Windows notebook in my life that lasted more than 6 hours straight. I know... it's heavy and has a huge battery. But it's what I need, because that's how long I'm away from my desk. In the past, every Dell, HP, Lenovo or Surface I've had, the promised battery life was 10 hours, but it never went beyond 4 or 5 hours of continuous use. So I'm satisfied. I still don't see any reason to migrate to ARM processors (yet).
I'd say this was all ultimately sparked by Apple's move to ARM in 2020. Apple Silicon was a revolution for the Macintosh platform, and ARM seems like it will be a revolution for PC laptops as well. How it will affect PC desktops is yet to be seen - it may not affect them at all. I don't think x86 is going anywhere any time soon for the PC.
"A non 0 chance"
So
"a chance" lool

EOL for Windows 10 may have some impact on business purchases at end of year...I know we have PCs that cannot be upgraded ..Time will tell.

The new PC Laptops looks really good.

Nice the SxS frame heights match.
what is meant by first ring? I guess not the unused x86 privilege ring 1 🤔🤷
is it my eyes or is Sam getting old 😭
Microsoft Windows is legacy technology 🤮
