QuoteHumane has valued the company between $750 million and $1 billion, according to a source familiar with the matter.

I can only picture a crowd of people laughing their asses off at the idea that Humane is worth anything close to $750m (let alone $1b) when I read this.

Granted they have been able to "claw" some performance out however one must ask - at what cost?

It would be my guess that any hope of any battery life/runtime was at the expense of gaining a bit of performance.

QuoteIn other words, Intel and AMD's latest Core Ultra 100 and Ryzen 8000 Hawk Point APUs have effectively been relegated to second-class citizenship for the time being in the Windows world, at least when it comes to non-gaming laptops.

Wat? So everything that people do on their laptops is gaming OR AI gimmicks? Nothing else, no third option? Wow.

Lol, crazy stuff. Didn't they claim how the only thing that prevents them from lowering the cost was evil Intel with their expensive CPUs? And now we have a laptop with its STARTING price almost $1000 (!) more expensive than a comparable Intel-based variant of the same T14s 😆 1200p 60 Hz and an M2 2242 SSD for $2700. Good luck I guess.

Releasing an ARM SOC that needs tons of software fixes and X86-64 emulation, while being a company with IP X86 sounds crazy. ARM doesn't magically make a design more efficient.

Gut das der Snapdragon X Elite keinen Blumentopf mehr gewinnt, war ja schon nach dem Release des iPad Pro mit dem M4 klar. Die Ankündigung von MS als Macbook killer zeugt auch schon von Realitätsverlust. Nun ja Marketingblase. Nach der Ankündigung haben die Entwickler bei Intel, AMD und Qualcomm wahrscheinlich eine Woche Krisensitzung gehabt.

Prinzipiell sind die Geräte aber für mich interessant, da mich die Intel CPU der 12. Generation in meinem aktuellen Arbeitslaptop zur Weißglut bringt. Laut, Warm und keine Power. Da die Leistung ja der 12. Generation ebenbürtig sein soll, würde ich Laut und Warm gerne tauschen gegen Leiser und Kühl.
