One drawback Sean pointed out is his system performance, but that’s just a comparison to other laptops on the market. His duet 5 overall score he is 4.5/5 stars. (Source: laptop)
Why this is important for your business:
I’m looking for a new laptop, but I’ve never owned a Chromebook. A Chromebook isn’t the right device for me, either because of limited hard drive space or because it’s not Microsoft. But it’s ridiculous. I love my girlfriend android phone. Microsoft apps work fine with it, and when I’m not online? Sean’s recommendation could be the tipping point in my purchase.

This could be a game changer for those making videos but wanting to significantly enhance the background. Microsoft has raised the bar as it now offers more privacy based on your screen settings and can offer many other cool effects. I am pointing out to improve.

3 – Google reorganizes its virtual assistant unit to focus on bard AI technology.
CNBC reported on the company’s recent announcement that Bard, an AI-generated assistant, will be at the forefront and center of its ongoing development. Google is in the midst of a massive promotion of its AI-powered technology. The company recently announced a testing phase for Bard and sent out a message to the public inviting them to try out the technology. (Source: CNBC)
Why this is important for your business:
Google has also been quietly working on Bard for the past few years, but was forced to launch earlier than planned after ChatGPT stole the show. Most of the business owners I talk to don’t pay much attention to either until the underlying AI is improved and more accurate. But just think of the possibilities when Bard is ready to ask you to do something with the data from Google. I plan to write about this in the not too distant future.
