Don't be ridiculous. Consumers will still have plenty of American-made laptops, made from American-sourced parts, to choose from. /s

>What exactly is an AI PC?

I take it to mean it is a Marketing term which really means one or more of these items:

* Locked down PC where you will do what we say, not what you want to do.

* No hardware upgrades, want more memory, diskspace ? Buy a new Laptop.

* You will now need to pay 30 USD per month to use this Laptop. It is 10 USD fee for students.

* No internet connection means some functions will not work.

* We will spy on your usage, but you can press a disable button. Heard in the boardrooms "that disable button really turns on more spyware because if they find it, we really want to watch that person". ie: Recall

AI pc sounds like something so flaky that as a user you relegate all your powers to the overlords and become sumbissive in hoppes of obtaining what they thinkn is what you wantz.

It's a PC that has a decent NPU. By next year every PC will be an AI PC so it won't really matter.

Easy: it is a "smart" PC 4.0

Well if the ads I saw during the SEC football games on TV were any indication apparently Intel and Dell think it’s campus food delivery bots.

Umm, I guess technically it is? We've known about Windows 10 EOL date for a long time now, since it was first released in 2015.

Say what you will about Microsoft, but they have consistently supported Windows for a MINIMUM of 10 years since Windows XP (2001). That's absolutely a solid record when you compare it to the computing half-life of support that other tech companies usually give. Look at Samsung, or even Google. Hell even Apple maxes out at 7.5 years for it's longest supported device.
