What's with the recent spate of websites with weird and unintuitive scrolling?
Pre-installed VSCode!!!!!!1
it's all going local in my opinion https://johnny588358.substack.com/p/why-ai-infra-is-overblow...
lot's of moves from nvidia, microsoft (and apple) in the local ai game. makes you wonder about the viability of data centre build-outs

Beautiful
The big things it has going for it are CUDA and DX support...but performance wise this is pretty weak.
It's a 5070 (mobile) equivalent core set but in a <100W envelope for combined components, whereas the full 5070 mobile is more than that by itself.
It also has a very constrained bandwidth in comparison, and a lot of older ARM cores. NVIDIA and Microsoft better be able to be competitive on price because unless you specifically need CUDA or Windows, this just doesn't feel like a very competitive product to a Mac Studio?
