I've been a near-daily computer user for almost 30 years now, ever since I got my first Power Mac in 1996. And for a large portion of that time, I regarded Windows-powered PC laptops as of secondary importance or relevance to me. Long underpowered compared to more capable desktop models, with crap sound and tiny screens, I couldn't see how I'd ever enjoy using one full-time.
Fast-forward to 2024, where we can hardly keep up with our updates of our top laptop buying guides, such as the, which has two 14-inch touchscreens and a detachable keyboard for more ways to work than every laptop from 1980 to 2010 combined. Or the fantastic variety of 2-in-1 'convertibles' that effortlessly manage the job of a professional laptop for creatives, and a touchscreen tablet , such as the brilliantly bescreened, with some cool creative innovations on the inside too.
And just this last week, we've finally managed to get our filthy mitts on one particular gaming laptop, which has the biblically powerfulabsolutely ridiculous or what. 16GB of the fastest visual memory known to humanity, plus up to - get this - 192GB of RAM, about four times more than the Fujitsu-made Numerical Wind Tunnel supercomputer from the 90s put out. In a 3kg laptop. Made for video games. Absurd.
But it turns out, that wasn't the answer anyway. What they needed was MORE variety, it appears. And I've never been so excited by it. The 2-in-1s mentioned above are a clear example, as is the Zenbook Duo. But we're seeing more variety on the inside now, too, thanks to this little gutsy startup company called Qualcomm.
