  • Does anyone else feel weird about the vast amounts of computing resources seemingly being wasted on generative AI services like Copilot? It might be different if this was something that could run locally without requiring an internet connection, but clearly we aren’t there yet. Copilot specifically reminds me too much of Siri from iOS 5, and it’s often really slow compared to competing services.

    Sucks that this will inevitably become more common, but hopefully it’ll be easy enough to remap to something useful.

    $2000 should get you something pretty nice. Do you have anything specific in mind that you’re planning to do with it? Important stuff to keep in mind up front, in no particular order: do you play games? How big should the screen be? How long do you want to use it on battery? Any operating system preferences?
