The share is higher than you would expect because they include all apple devices in them because the apple soc is capable of running ai. Of course who’s buying a MacBook it’s not doing it because “it’s an AI PC”. Should have included all gaming PCs then…

The report says Lenovo ai PC shipments went up 228% last quarter. Uh… They put on sale their copilot+ devices on the last week of Q2, then of course at the end of Q3 you have such high percentage. They could have said “10000000000000000000000% yoy increase”

    Damn it! Last year I upgraded to blockchain PC since my original Cloud-Native one was a disappointment.

      A PC with a CPU that integrates an NPU, I think. That’s mostly laptops, and often not intentional from the consumer point of view as chip vendors just throw in NPUs to make money off the AI hype.

      If Macs were still PCs, every Mac would be an AI computer. Reuters still considers Macs to be PCs, so this number includes all Apple laptops and desktops as well.

        Does a Surface Laptop with a Snapdragon count as a ‘PC’ to you?

          Not really. It’s an ARM based computer that comes with PC emulation software, but it’s hard to call something a PC if it’s not x86 based.

          If you include ARM computers into the PC category, you could say the same of tablets and smartphones with a keyboard case.

      Don’t tell anyone, but I suspect it’s a pc with a GPU. Maybe even a hard drive. Wild!

    Remember when Google+ had billions of users because Google counted Gmail users as Google+ users?

      I was surprised when I accidentally clicked on it and saw my profile.

    In retrospect this is the type of news you would expect if AI was secretly taking over the world.
