This Week in AI: The Next Llama is Running Late

3 weeks ago | microcenter.com | Ian Sherr

Artificial intelligence can already do so much, from producing a song or creating an image from a simple line of text, to building an app. It can even rewrite your correspondence in the voice of Yoda from Star Wars, as if he were in a Shakespearean play. But what comes next, you might wonder? Or said another way: "A spectacle most grand, those powers it has. But this? The next iteration, much wanting, it will leave you, hmmmm?

Surface Pro 11 If you want the best of both a tablet and a laptop in one device, the Surface Pro 11 is hard to beat.

When Google started testing its AI mode a couple months ago, it seemed like an acknowledgement of a shift. The way we were using technology was changing so much, and so rapidly, that the world's most popular website was willing to radically change to keep up. Well, now that shift is coming a bit closer as Google prepares to upend how we search across the web.
Integrated vs. Dedicated GPU: Which Is Best?

1 month ago | microcenter.com | Jon Martindale

For a computer to display anything on your screen, it needs a graphics processor, or GPU. That’s the chip inside your PC, laptop, handheld gaming system, and even your phone that actively renders what you see. It creates any 3D effects, transcodes video so it runs smoothly, and shows your mouse as you drag it around the screen. Graphics processors typically come in one of two flavours: integrated graphics and dedicated graphics cards.

1 month ago | microcenter.com | Jorge Jimenez |Jorge Jiménez

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 14Q8X9 is one of the first 2-in-1 laptops powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Plus—a chip that promises long battery life, whisper-quiet performance, and baked-in AI features thanks to its onboard NPU. It’s part of Microsoft’s new Copilot+ PC lineup, aiming to redefine what thin-and-light Windows laptops can do. You should expect near-instant wake times, efficient multitasking, and all-day endurance without the thermal noise of a traditional x86 processor.

Whether you’re about to unbox a brand-new desktop or you’ve been doing some spring cleaning and unearthed a stack of laptops of seasons past in your garage, you know that the way to get rid of them is not to toss them in the trash. Discarded laptops and desktops contribute to the 62 million tons of un-recycled electronics that make up global e-waste.
This Week in AI: OpenAI and Google Take On Coding

1 month ago | microcenter.com | Ian Sherr

Last year, the startup Cognition revealed a shocking technology: Artificial intelligence bots that can code on their own. Cognition called it "the first AI software engineer," but to many in the tech world, it seemed a first real step towards "Is AI taking my job?" (Spoiler: Not yet.)Since then, a bunch of other companies have jumped in with their own takes on the idea, including Microsoft with its Copilot Studio.
