Microsoft braces for automatic AI takeover with Copilot at Windows startup

Big win for ChromeOS

I'll be moving my elderly parents to ChromeBooks instead of Windows 12. Particularly since they don't want to spend money on an unnecessarily powerful machine.

These are the end times for Microsoft. They will rue they day their management went all in on so called AI.

NVIDIA laughing

China will buy 10000% more of these and NVIDIA will be laughing all the way to the bank.

ChromeOS

ChromeOS on a new Black Friday special Chromebook plus (HP x360) is a great option for your non technical SO or elderly patient. It just works, keeps everything up to date and has many years of support. And for just $364 US ($320 off), it's a steel. Sure the 5050 mAH battery could be a bit bigger but for the casual, on the couch, use case it's fine. I'm also a huge fan of everything charging via USB type C with these compact GAN chargers.

Linux is my poison (for work purposes) but for everything else the Chromebook plus has a lot to offer (including some light gaming via Steam).

I have to say that a MacBook is my second suggestion for the casual end user but the client baulked at the cost.
