Stop trying to sell branded AI crap. Make it an ARM Linux laptop and it might have a chance.

They're still playing catch-up... X Elite is okay but the M4 chips blow it and everything else out of the water. Personally, I don't want an "AI Laptop" or a "CoPilot Laptop"... I don't need even more AI generated slop. I just want what Apple is sellling: a reasonably powerful laptop with crazy good energy efficiency and quality hardware.
Wait.. its only been what? 6 months? In my opinion... The people who only prioritize time to market and first mover advantage are jumping the shark. You can't capture significant market share in 6 months! Especially if it is a market where the incumbents are entrenched; where familiarity, functional parity dwarf other factors.
The whole world has entered this trend chasing behavior ever since people have had easy access to social media. People are peddling AI everywhere. Its become absurd. I wonder when everyone's mind gets saturated with AI and we can move on... because I know I have gotten exhausted with this.
I guess nobody expected X Elite chips getting even a small percentage of the market and well, that's what happened.
