A better strategy than slapping an "Copilot+ PC" label on trash laptops with trash silicon from Qualcomm [1] [2].

[1] Take a hint. Maybe someday Qualcomm silicon won't be trash. Often you see companies change their name for no good reason but Qualcomm is never going to be able to sell laptops until they change their name to something else or at the very least change their branding so nobody draws a line between the terrible past and a possible future. They should ask Copilot for a better name.

[2] Personally I think "Plus" is a bad smell in branding, right up there with "One". Sure, Purina One is a premium product but all XBOX ONE does is prove that nobody gets a game console bought by their mom anymore because how could you explain to your mom that an XBOX ONE > XBOX 360?



Numbering product lines is hard: when Nvidia reaches GeForce 70xx series, we'll be in an awkward situation where, numerically, my 2006 Apple TV with a GeForce 7300 > hypothetical GeForce 7090.


It's not that hard. I have no idea how to interpret Nvidia model numbers. PlayStation seems to have figured out a good system though.


I distinctively remember having NVIDIA GeForce 6800 back in the day...

Great GPU, btw!


It's not hard. They make it hard for dumb reasons.

But the OnePlus One was a pretty good phone...


They still are decent
