Smartphone hardware is generally noticeably weaker than laptop (let alone desktop) hardware.

There is not much you can do about this.

486 were generally better up until Pentium 2 came out.

No way. Late stage Pentiums were markedly better than 486.

My parents bought a Pentium 1 133 mhz with Windows 95 in late 1996 and it worked great (for the time)

At my parents work they had an 486 with Windows 95 and it was noticeably less responsive. It was not a fun experience. I don't remember the exact model number of the 486 (I wasn't even 10 years old back then), but I do remember Pentiums being generally much more performant than computers with 486. From memory, 486 computers generally ran Windows 3.11 and were not upgraded to Windows 95 (keep in mind that everything was pirated, licensed Windows copies among business users was more of mid-2000s thing where I lived).

The larger book-style foldables are really the ones we should be questioning, considering their price, durability issues and lack of a clear reason to exist.

I am not sure I agree.

Back in 2014/2015, we still used the term "phablet", fast-forward ~10 years and almost all smartphones have become "phablets" with compact devices (what would be a regular device in 2014) have become extremely niche.

I've only used the book-style foldables in a Samsung showroom, they seemed fine, just very expensive.

The price should eventually come down.

My first CPU was a Pentium 1 133 MHz in late 1996. I didn't build this particular PC though (that would come later). So I do have an appreciation for 90s (and even 80s) motifs. :)

Arrow Lake is also a pretty cool name. Arrow Lake Refresh; not so much.

I bet the performance uplift will be within the margin of error (so below 5%).

However, leaked performance Geekbench figures of the GB10 may disappoint. When it comes to general-purpose compute in Geekbench, the GB10 is close to Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite and near Apple's M3 processor, based on the leaked scores.

Seems like Nvidia ARM CPU is pretty mediocre. The price of this PC definitely won't be mediocre.

I see where you're coming from and I generally agree.

That being said, there is a time and place for everything and this is not a serious thread.

It's the truth though.

How is OpenAI going to pay $30 B a year, Oracle agreed to get paid in OpenAI shares?
