Nobody is picking their laptop for the best AI integration. You can do those things just as well on every other platform. In fact, additional AI integration is universally a turnoff to most normal people.

Uhm, the only reason I bought a refurbished laptop last year (an M3 Max with more RAM than I've ever had before) was to run models locally.
If Google was launching a new laptop that was meant to run models locally I would be really excited.

By "AI integration" we are talking about UI, not running local models. See the link this thread is about.
The key phrase from GP is "most normal people." You are, with love, a particular kind of freak. As are we all.

“Nobody” is pretty universal, yet there are plenty of people now buying new computers specifically for their local AI capabilities. It’s not all Mac minis, some of us prefer laptops.
