Your 'AI PC' is already obsolete: The curse of early adoption strikes again

"The year of the AI PC" got off to a strange start. All the "AI PCs" sold by manufacturers for the first half of the year are now effectively out of date. They won't be able to run Windows Recall, the Windows Copilot Runtime, or all the other AI features Microsoft showed off for its new Copilot PCs. Microsoft's Copilot PC certification just taught us a valuable lesson in buying PC hardware: Never buy hardware based on the promise of what it might be able to do in the future. Only buy PC hardware because of what it can actually do today.
