The PC is, you know, like, I hate saying it, and I've truly had a bunch of these over the past month, six months or so, but I spent a lot of energy with our team on getting the memory down to...
to two and four gigs at the time, but eight is going to be hard.
Now, Windows is doing a lot of work right now on that, so we'll see where that goes.
But right now, if you ask me about what PC to buy, I would send you to a 16 gig PC.
It takes work.
It takes like techie work.
to get it down to be 8 gig reasonable.
Like, uninstalling a bunch of stuff, playing around, stuff that you wouldn't, you shouldn't tell anyone to do.
Like, which PC would you recommend?
Like, a specific laptop?
Dell XPS 14?
Yeah, any, I would get a, I would get a Dell XPS 13.
What do you think about the Surface lineup right now?
Well, here, okay, look, I'm obviously not objective about the Surface lineup.
Mm-hmm.
I think that the PC, when we designed Surface, and I wrote like 80 million words on this, which everybody could go see on Hardcore Software.
I'm not going to replay them here about what we did wrong and right.
But originally, Surface was envisioned to be this platform discontinuity in PCs.
It was going to be the move to mobile chips, ARM, and mobile firm factors,
like a tablet.
