The PC of the future? For Nvidia it will be like R2-D2 but the incongnity is geopolitical

The company did not provide details on performance compared to competing solutions already on the market or coming in the next few months. Comparisons will be announced closer to the commercial launch of the new devices. Nvidia also stated that it does not anticipate any availability issues related to the current pressure on the semiconductor supply chain.

Remember, however, that Microsoft launched its AI-branded Copilot PCs in 2024, but the products turned out to be a flop. And then there is the market. According to an IDC report, global deliveries will fall by 11.3 per cent for the year as a whole, and the slowdown will be even more pronounced in the fourth quarter, when the expected drop will reach 20 per cent compared to the same period in 2025.

The main unknown factor, however, concerns the development of market prices. Underlying IDC's forecasts is the persistent memory shortage, a situation that analysts do not expect to improve significantly before the end of 2027. The shortage of components continues to put pressure on price lists, with the risk of price increases and reduced availability of certain configurations. For manufacturers and consumers, the crux is not only how many devices will be sold, but at what price it will be possible to buy them in the coming quarters. And finally, there is geopolitics. Will Ai be able to make way for the consumer electronics market or will the race take all the capacity? As long as artificial intelligence is part of the proof of power, it is difficult to imagine a phase of 'adoption' and standardisation. When you run, you run and think of nothing else. At least here in the West.
