The only problem I have with this is that USB-C PD can only go to 240w, which is fine for most laptops but my current gaming laptop has a 240w power brick and it only has a 3060 in it. The 3080 and 3090 variants had 300w+ bricks IIRC.
I don't live in India, but I hope gaming laptops get some sort of exception if their power draw can exceed the specification limits.
I'm going to be the odd one out on this.
I prefer ultra customized recommendations, I wish they were even smarter. Especially if I've already bought something, I want them to know so they stop advertising that product to me.
I'd rather see ads for products that I may actually buy rather than for shit I don't have the slightest interest in.
I rarely buy products without significant research, so ads aren't likely to trick me into buying something of poor quality. I just need to have awareness of things I don't even know exist.

I just use Photopea https://www.photopea.com/ instead. It does everything I need, and I don't need to install anything.
You have no leverage when you only have one remaining economy to sell things to.
Russia is going to be turned into a Chinese vassal state.
I don't think a lot of people actually understand the concept of how big the Chinese population is today.
They could lose a billion people, and still have more people than the US.
There are more licensed medical doctors in China than there are people in the state of Oregon.
Now that being said, China's going to collapse. It's population tree currently looks like a nuclear cloud, and they have next to zero immigration to deal with that situation. Their population started declining two years ago, and the next 40 years are going to be rough as they are expected have a net loss of 400+ million people.
This particular implementation doesn't really apply to those situations, there are already existing technologies which can pre-train on specific voices they could be using for that since the target is known. The main "improvement" from this system is that you can train it on any target subject, even with background noise, in only a few seconds.
It's most useful in scenarios they've outlined in their study, like using it with your friend you ran into on the bus, your tour guide, etc.
It's already boosting productivity in many roles. That's just going to accelerate as the models get better, the processing gets cheaper, and (as you said) people learn to use it better.
AI will help with that too, it's going to be able to process entire codebases at a time pretty shortly here.
Given the visual capabilities now emerging, it can likely also do human-equivalent testing.
One of the biggest AI tricks we haven't started seeing much of yet in mainstream use is this kind of automated double-checking. Where it generates an answer, and then validates if the answer is valid before actually giving it to a human. Especially in coding bases, there really isn't anything stopping it from coming up with an answer compiling, running into an error, re-generating, and repeating until the code passes all unit tests or even potentially visual inspection.
The big limit on this right now is sheer processing cost and context lengths for the models. However, costs for this are dropping faster than any new tech we've seen, and it will likely be trivial in just a few years.
No need to defend it.
Either it's value is sufficient that businesses can make money by implementing it and it gets used, or it isn't.
I'm personally already using it to make money, so I suspect it's going to stick around.
You, along with most people, are still looking at automation wrong. It's never been about removing people entirely, even AI, it's about doing the same work with less cost.
If you can eliminate one programmers from your four person team by giving the other three AI to produce the same amount of work, congrats you've just automated one programming job.
Programming jobs aren't going anywhere, but either the amount of code produced is about to skyrocket, or the number of employed programmers is going to drop (or most likely both of those things).
Still considered a laptop, they have low power modes for unplugged use.
