[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1116075, member: 96560"] Well i think since you can't really guess what computing we will be doing in 8 years, you have to base it on today. The AI thing is the really troublesome guess and I don't know if there will still be AI chat sites as we have today where all the processing is done by a server. Or will it will be expected that all future 'basic' models can do AI. For future proofing, it is better to get a desktop where parts can be swapped out. If you are going to be sitting at the same desk every day while using a computer then desktops really are the better choice - you can swap out cpu, swap out gpu, add ram, add storage. Actually calling it future proofing is not accurate, you are just trying to maxmize the value of your dollar spent. Maybe with the troublesome AI lurking, it is better to spend less at this time until a clearer view is in sight. A npu may or may not become standard equiptment when people balk at the electricity bill they have to pay. [/QUOTE]
