There must be such a disconnection between the general people and more technical oriented people. I would never ever buy such a laptop. The reasons are very simple:

- it's owned by Google. Google is the worst tech company out there to trust your data

- it has AI all over the place. Overuse of AI depresses me. And a laptop is something very personal to me. I don't want to be depressed every time i open my laptop

- the "files" functionality is cloud-based. That's insane. I don't want my files in the "cloud". I want a file system

I run linux, and still own Macs (because their hardware is great on laptops). Of course I'm not the target audience. But still.
