Also, is the base model Macbook still shipping with 8GB RAM? ;)

    The networking is a little similar to today’s WiFi, but on a 400 GHz carrier frequency.

    A whole battery of CPU’s is built into the device, liquid cooled (oil, not water), doing AI stuff, not for any heavy computation jobs, but just for processing my sensor’s input (speech, gestures, thoughts & feelings).

    No GPU, because the rendering of graphics and speech output is outsourced to a service cloud. That’s also the reason why this device will be totally useless in 2024.

    The display screen consists of a flexible frame (retractable for small packing when turned off), that is projecting 3D graphics into the space above the frame. My fingers are doing gestures into that projection.

    No loudspeakers. Sound goes either into my earpieces or into some speakers that belong to the room where I am at the moment.

      Higher frequency radiowaves actually penetrate objects worse. Today’s carrier grade services are lower frequency generally.

        I know that very well. My guess is that the need for high throughput and low latency will become so much more important then. So they will have given up penetrating walls.

        This means, a general laptop won’t be able to work everywhere, but still nearly everywhere. Rooms and many outdoor areas will be equipped for the needed wireless networking.
