KI-PCs verkaufen sich nicht und die PC-Partner von Microsoft geraten ins Straucheln

Maybe if they listened to the people who buy their stuff instead of the people who get paid to make stuff they’d make better stuff.

If the one we have now works and isn’t weighed down by AI garbage, why replace it?

Looks good on them. Will they learn a lesson here? You can bet they won’t.

They bought up all the RAM to power the AI nobody wants so no one can afford to buy a PC now anyway.

And guess what? If Microsoft released an OS that had zero AI, zero remote cloud storage, zero adds they could actually charge for, it would fly off the shelves. What a radical idea. Sell a product that people actually want. And then sell add ins for all the useless crap that they’re trying to force on us.

I’m praying I don’t have to buy a new laptop until after the Copilot buttons are gone.

No actually, I don’t want a key combination macro input key in place of a the right CTRL without UEFI access to restore the key at the firmware level back to being a CTRL. I find the Copilot logo offensive wherever it appears, but having it printed into my physical hardware would be infuriating.

>Dell’s head of product said AI features are likely confusing consumers.

Dude, there is no confusion. We don’t fcking want it.

I’ve bought a handful of laptops in the last year and anytime I see it marked as AI within the title I immediately am uninterested. They automatically cost more and I’m disabling the AI immediately. There’s no actual added benefit for me. Company wise we don’t buy anything besides the standard i5 or i7 machine and filter it to not buy AI ones at all.

It’s just a product to show in a boardroom that won’t sell on store shelves.

Open Message to Apple: Dont fucking do this. MacOS is great. Mac Hardware is great. Keep doing what you are doing.

That is all.

Good, fuck Microslop

Dafuq is an AI PC?

The problem with AI is that they always think they know what we want and they always fucking get it wrong. Just get out of the way.

LMAO. On a list of ways my fucking Etsy shop seems to function in a closer adherence to the most basic rules of business than many colossal corporations, it’s almost like when you have market research budgets in the millions there’s something to be said for using it to figure out if there’s a demand for something you have the means to supply

This bubble needs to pop sooner than later

Give us the ram for the love of god

Yeah no shit. No one wants this crap.

Generally not a fan of Dell, but will give them props for ‘saying the quiet part out loud’ from an executive perspective.

Also – Fck MicroSlop.

It’s like trying to advertise a Lowe’s or Home Depot as a nail store. A carpenter would know they need to go there to get their job done but the average person may not. Sell it as a home improvement store and you broaden the appeal.

These companies are pushing “AI” everywhere but leaving the imagination up to the user, this is great for some people but doesn’t have broad appeal. Why would my mom want an AI PC? The term itself is creepy to most people. Software companies need to actually put in the hard work to make use of this and sell capabilities that take advantage of whatever underlying hardware is needed for an “AI PC”.

If chat bots like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok are today’s killer app that people want, why buy the hardware when you can get most of this for free in a browser or a phone app?

Why would I want an inept trainee piloting my PC and failing to follow my directions when I could just do it myself more easily?

There is no reason for me to have AI running on my local PC. All the models run through the internet and are based in the cloud.

After years of Microsoft pushing to minimize local hardware (cloud storage, Office360, apps that run through Edge, etc.) now they want us to upgrade local hardware so co-pilot can use AI to do…. What?

No one wants this.

Tech companies are not developing for customers anymore they are building for Wall Street investors. What is going to make Wall Street happy hearing the term AI. Not a single person I know wants the level of AI promised by the tech companies. At most we all want a competent personal assistant, like what Siri or Alexa was supposed to be. I am not sure about others but both ChatGPT and Gemini are basicity like talking to my marketing department. Lots of fancy words that are confidently wrong and has no substance. Sure it can save me time some days but it’s annoying.

I work at a Fortune 500, and our board has admitted that we need to use AI as a buzz word in investor meetings or the stock price gets punished. We do Ai stuff in our product but we have to make sure they bring it up more than needed.

I am going to be happy when this AI bubble bursts, and we can get back to real cool stuff.

I want my operating system to allow me to open a program when I click on it. That is my main requirement.

Adding too many additional features, especially when I am pushed to use them, is only a negative.

Here’s my take on why AI PCs are struggling

I invest in my devices for my own use. I didn’t buy them so corporations could hijack the hardware, spy on my activity, and consume the performance I paid for with their background processes
