"Think of a laptop, but it's just entirely AI. You know how most lower-end phones are filled with bloatware? Imagine if that bloatware was just AI everything. The OS has Gemini baked in, heck, even the cursor has AI injected into it like botox.

The hardware becomes secondary to whatever AI layer has been plastered over it, and the entire pitch is essentially "trust us, the AI makes it better."
