​@@WcducEverything is labeled with AI, it's getting annoying

[@privacyvalued4134]

@@sakiaung It was annoying _before_ everything got labeled with it. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not what people think it is. It's a series of statistical models that a computer happened to stumble upon after wasting an insane amount of power and processing cycles that only does marginally better than 50% accuracy (i.e. slightly better than a coin flip). Humans have vastly superior analytical capabilities housed in between two ears.

It's not meant to be. It's for display (people who see an amazing laptop will be more likely to buy something reasonable) and it's for people to who either don't care about spending that amount of money or want to brag. That's just consumerismbat it's finest

[@41chemist19]

I don't have that kind of money, but I think supporting unique designs, art, and manufacturing technology is cool. If I had extreme amounts of money, I might buy something like that. Ya know how cool Victorian architecture or Renaissance art was? It was visually interesting, it had depth and complexity. Overly generic mass produced stuff is affordable but REALLY boring and dull. I think the world would be more interesting and colorful if this mentality pervaded our architecture, items, and fashion, and everything just like it used to. It's certainly not a value option, but it wasn't meant to be that. With low volume automated manufacturing becoming more and more affordable, common, and easy to use (3d printers, 1 off PCB assemblers, plasma cutters, etc, cri-cut, etc.) maybe we'll see a resurgence in aesthetically pleasing stuff like this over time at a more affordable price point.

[@Marbeary]

That Meg case is a thing of beauty

[@elementneon]

We absolutely need to standardize on larger chassis options. I know I have already long since abandoned any idea of keeping a computer in a cubby in a desk, it already goes on the ground beside the desk (or lifted just off the ground). So if it means slightly more space that is perfectly fine in exchange for FINALLY getting proper cooling to support these advanced GPUs

[@lucassilvas1]

@@elementneon What's wrong with the cooling nowadays? Even 4090s run very cool, no need for even bigger cases. Only thing that really runs hot these days are Intel CPUs, that's it.

[@elementneon]

@ there are myriads of factors that go into it certainly. The CPU, the GPU, and any power supply capable of running high powered GPUs kicks out a TON of heat just on its own which needs to be managed. I live in Southern California as well which can get very warm during much of the year. Anything the industry can do to dissipate heat and keep our expensive products running well I am all for.

[@FrostclawPlays]

WHY won't companies put AMD Ryzen processors inside their laptops? WHY? Years of development and hundreds of laptops since AMD's mobile processors have been faster, cooler, and more efficient, and Intel is still the pick?

[@Gavanater7]

Contractual agreements especially with msi making a bet that will keep Intel alive for with potential to make a come back again competition is a good thing.

[@joelfernando1]

Because Intel and Nvidia always has been the standard for everything. Also, those laptops are not just for gaming. Laptops were never made for gaming. Just because you are a Amd fanboy, they do not care!

[@Nullpersona]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Titan allows for the purchase of external battery bars that can be swapped in. Anyone buying that is going to be serious about using it at all times. Maybe not this edition, but the vapour chambers indicate that they are going all in on high power consumption, and that is the only air-travel compliant means of getting the most out of it.
