It’s gadget season, and a lot of companies are launching a lot of new products. But whether it’s Microsoft dropping a high-end laptop, Amazon shipping a fancy Android tablet, or Apple diving headlong into the smart home, the actual strategy appears to be almost always the same. All these companies believe AI assistants and agents are the future of computing, and they’re building devices that put them front and center.
On this episode of The Vergecast, David and Nilay dig into all this new hardware to figure out whether any of it has the right take on AI. (Or if “the AI should run the computer” is even the right idea in the first place.) They discuss Amazon’s ambitions to be a maker of great hardware, Microsoft’s powerful new take on Surface, and even whether Googlebooks can be the AI-centric future of laptops.
After all the hardware talk, it’s time for Brendan Carr is a Dummy, some talk about the Paramount / Warner acquisition and what it means for the streaming landscape, the dream of “intelligent UI,” and more.
