The share is higher than you would expect because they include all apple devices in them because the apple soc is capable of running ai. Of course who’s buying a MacBook it’s not doing it because “it’s an AI PC”. Should have included all gaming PCs then…
The report says Lenovo ai PC shipments went up 228% last quarter. Uh… They put on sale their copilot+ devices on the last week of Q2, then of course at the end of Q3 you have such high percentage. They could have said “10000000000000000000000% yoy increase”

What even is a fucking AI pc?
Don’t tell anyone, but I suspect it’s a pc with a GPU. Maybe even a hard drive. Wild!
