Skip N1, N2 is coming quickly in 2027. Let N1 be for beta testers. I hope it's good though and gives Qualcomm, AMD and Intel some good competition. But it will aslo come down to price. Ngreedia will probably want 30% more than HALO products.

Sure, but good thing is that for inferencing (not to be confused with training an AI, where CUDA is the go-to solution), which this N1(X) is designed for (up to 128 GB slow[1] LPDDR5X RAM), is mostly hardware agnostic once vulkan works.
