Transcript

This is Microsoft's answer to the MacBook Pro. Now you've probably seen this floating around today, but this is kind of a big good, and what I just saw is insane. They put a 6,000 core Blackwell RTX GPU into a laptop that's thinner than 18 millimeters. We're talking one petaflop of compute power in something that can fit in a backpack. Now they're positioning this as an AI machine, which, sure, is fine, but hear me out. What this means for creators and gamers means that we finally have a laptop that doesn't make you pick a side. You get 99% of the performance even when you unplug it. And there's no more choosing between battery life and actual GPU raw horsepower. You get the efficiency, you get the battery life, and you get the actual power to bad up creative work and gaming on the go. Pair that with the fact that you get this beautifully designed laptop, the world's first magnetic USB c charger, a haptic touchpad, a USB a port, an SD card slot, and just raw power. I have been saying for years that we need a Windows laptop like this, a laptop, and a machine that just fully commits. And this, this looks like it's it.
