The person above you confidently posted that it’s shipping now and got an up vote despite being wrong.

I never understand people who confidently post wrong things that are easily googlable.

Most miniPC vendors have already announced AI Max products:

A PC lets you replace the CPU, ram and plug in multiple pcie cards.

This is less upgradable than the average laptop.

This is a standard a370 mini PC at a high price.

There’s Beelink, Minisforum, Aoostar and many others.

My wife uses AI to write complex Excel spreadsheet formulas saving hours. She still has to double check them but it saves enormous time. My friend uses it to write proposals. Again it needs to be checked and again it saves hours of time.

AI doesn’t replace people. It provides a productivity boost and it has been doing it for 2 years now.

Asking what AI is going to do for the average person in 1-3 years is like asking what is the PC going to do for the average person in 1980. There’s nothing that AI can do that can’t be done by a person. But like using a PC instead of a pocket calculator, it makes you more productive.
