After using agentic AI that can actually do things (like cursor or even GitHub Copilot) using the AI in Microsoft products feels like an absolute joke. People want it to do actual things like apply a template to their PowerPoint or fill out a spreadsheet etc. but it just copies the work and makes you a new file to download pulling you absolutely out of the workflow. I've seen users excited for it and then get a new file to download in the chat and just quit using it completely in disappointment.
Even the developer tools are clunky and slow to use (SSMS, Visual Studio, VSCode) or can't do simple things like make a new file and put code it generates in.
All of the ARM laptops are priced as premium business models in the $900-1700 range and kind of fall down in that space - Qualcomm until recently even refused to release any drivers to anyone not a developer partner and it's honestly still not even close to consumer/business friendly. The hardware is capable of doing what people need the culture around it is just not aligned.
Also it's a joke to run OpenGL on Windows ARM (it fully works just no one makes it anything easy)
My x13s laptop can almost run A tier games without a fan which is impressive but it really feels disconnected and unsupported from all parties making these laptops.
I agree as someone who supports devices for enterprise - if the MDM works, I'd push for these. So far we only really support Apple and Samsung (Knox) because It Just Works (TM) with Intune and other MDM tools. We looked at the Lenovo phone, and I seriously considered it for personal use, but we had already left the android market for corporate owned devices by the time this hit so I cant speak to how well it does or doesn't work on MDM. Shame you couldn't buy that as a consumer.
I enrolled my graphene into my company's intune, and I had to inject the play services via adb during the enrollment, as of course the graphene doesnt have play services available in the work profile -> unable to enroll it completely without injecting some apk's there
I live in the Midwest and have a car with TPMS and winter and all season tires and it's a $10 thing to tell the car to pair with tires when I swap them. Most mechanics have these too as they service wheels so it's not an issue really. Yeah it messes with the tracking but my car also has wifi I can't turn off without ripping out OnStar.
In the context of the OP the TPMS sensors are culprits, and on U.S. cars the software requires that TPMS modules be present. I've read about Ford owners in the U.S. using FORSCAN to disable the TPMS software components and then removing the TPMS modules from the tires. No idea if this is still possible of if similar solutions are workable for other manufacturers. Having said that, I mentioned Canadian-spec vehicles that don't have TPMS enabled in the first place.
I can't tell if this is satire but if not, you're only holding yourself back. It's far from the leading model family for a while now for almost any workload.
No complaints here, I use a Framework Desktop with this chip. 32G given to RAM and the rest plays VRAM. Can use large models like 'gpt-oss:120b' fine. Splurged and got a second SSD for mirroring, hoping to speed up reads/model loads. Haven't tested this for efficacy, but it also gives redundancy. Shrugs!
Haven't paid a subscription in years or even signed up for $EMPLOYER offerings; handles the rare outsourcing well enough.
