Just saying "built on AI" or whatever isn't a convincing sales pitch. What can I actually do with AI that will improve my day to day life? Not a single advert or pitch has told me a single use case for this that applies to what anyone would use for a personal computer, and they're too risky to buy for employees in a work environment unless you can afford to be the guinea pig for this unproven line of hardware (in the sense that I know a ThinkPad will last 10 years but I have no idea how long a copilot pc will last, how often I need to replace the battery or ram or anything else). I'm aware of tech, I know what these laptops are, but as far as I can see the market for them just does not exist and I don't understand why anyone would think otherwise.
