Apple is reportedly building an enterprise AI server powered by future M8 Ultra chips, expected to launch in 2029 in configurations with two or four chips, according to The Information. The project reportedly began about a year ago with backing from John Ternus, now Apple's CEO, when he still led hardware engineering. This would be Apple's first server product in roughly twenty years.

Because Windows runs across countless third-party manufacturers rather than one vertically integrated maker like Apple, laptop quality and battery life vary widely depending on the model chosen. Budget Windows machines often use plastic builds and x86 chips with weaker battery life, while premium options like the Dell XPS 13 or Asus Zenbook A16 rival MacBooks in build quality, and ARM-based Windows laptops from Qualcomm and MediaTek now close the battery gap, though at the cost of software compatibility.
