An AI PC is a PC suited to be used for AI... Dual 4090 is very suited for small scale AI.

It might be a marketing term by Microsoft, but that is just dumb, and has nothing to do with what Apple says. If this was in relation to Microsofts "AI PC" then Apple should have written "Slower than ANY AI PC." instead, as the minimum requirements for "AI PC by Microsoft" seems to be 45 TOPS, and the M4 is too slow to qualify by the Microsoft definition.

Are you heavily invested in Apple stock or somehting? When a company clearly lies and tries to mislead people, call them out on it, don't defend them. Companies are not your friend. Wtf.

I don't own any Apple stock, at least not directly. I'm not defending Apple, just trying to understand what their claim is. Apple does plenty of consumer un-friendly things but they aren't dumb and they have good lawyers so they tend not to directly lie about things in product claims.


Fair enough. You are correct that Apple aren't dumb, but they do mislead as much as they can in marketing, and by their own words from previous court cases you're not a reasonable person if you think it's facts.

In this case they do straight up lie, without a question. There is no reasonable explanation for the claim. If they had some absurd meaning behind it then they should have put a footnote on it.

This isn't a nice thing to say.
