The AI phenomenon

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving field that has revolutionized the way we interact with technology. From voice assistants to self-driving cars, AI is making its presence felt in nearly every aspect of our lives. This transformative technology is driven by complex algorithms and massive data, enabling machines to mimic human-like tasks with remarkable precision and efficiency.

At its core, AI is about creating systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. This includes learning from experience (machine learning), understanding natural language (natural language processing), recognizing patterns (computer vision), and making decisions. The foundation of AI lies in the concept of algorithms—step-by-step instructions that allow machines to solve problems or make predictions based on data. Over time, these algorithms have become more advanced, enabling machines to “learn” from vast datasets, improving their accuracy and capabilities without needing direct human intervention.

Looking ahead, the future of AI holds immense promise across various industries. In healthcare, AI can assist doctors with early diagnosis and personalized treatment plans by analyzing medical data. In business, it can optimize operations, improve customer service with chatbots, and even predict market trends. AI is also paving the way for more autonomous systems, such as drones, robots, and self-driving vehicles, which could revolutionize transportation and logistics. Furthermore, as AI continues to evolve, we are likely to see even more profound changes in fields like education, entertainment, and environmental sustainability. However, as AI becomes increasingly integrated into society, it will also raise ethical considerations around privacy, security, and the impact on jobs. The key will be finding a balance between technological innovation and the responsible use of AI.

This three blocks of text were written by ChatGPT and gives a very nice demonstration of what it is capable of. It includes everything what I wanted to say to make this articles, even the header is AI created.
As last year AI skyrocketed through the roof, I had many thoughts about it. Also yesterday, a quite unknown Chinese startup shadow dropped their “better” version of OpenAI’s, called DeepSeek. Developed in only two months and with a very low budget of ca. 6 millions. I think this is just the beginning of a battle “Who can develop the best algorithm”. And it is great because if more people are dedicated to develop such products, people will have more possibilities to use such technology to simplify their life.

Review – Razer Blade Stealth 13

Two weeks ago, I have bought a new ultrabook. At the time of the national lockdown I was considering to get a new mobile station but I wasn’t sure what to chose. I wanted actually a small high performance device, which should be capable of running games fluently and also handy transportation wise. So I did find the Blade Stealth 13 from Razer and after reading many tests and watching reviews on Youtube, I decided to get that little beauty. And so, here is my own small review!

Look & Feeling

The ultrabook’s aluminium case is very well designed and manufactured. It resembles kinda a bit Apple’s Macbook Air. The back side has the company’s logo but different from other models, it is unfortunately not illuminated. That was actually a small disappointment for me because everyone wants something colorful and shiny, don’t you agree?

The mouse pad response also very well. The only thing I don’t like is the size of it. Its too big in my own opinion. Somehow I have the habit that my right hand touches it always when I have it near the keyboard. Speaking of the keyboard, it comes with a RGB lightning and with the software Razer Synapse you can manage your lights as you wish on the keyboard and also of course your other Razer hardware 😉 The only small negative thing I have to say about it, is the very small Shift key on the right side next to the arrow keys. I hit always the Up key instead of the Shift.

Technical specifications

The specifications I have, are the following:

  • Intel Core i7 10th Gen Processor with 4 cores
  • 16GB RAM
  • NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1650 with 4GB GDDR5 VRAM
  • 512GB SSD Disk Drive

The device contains a dull full HD screen in small frame which guarantees a colorful display. Two fans on the bottom side regulate the heat. They are usually quite silent but here and there when the device thinks it has to do even such small works as doing downloading or installing, they can be a bit noisy. But it’s still in a green zone.
It comes also with a Thunderbolt 3, USB-C and USB-A connectors. Additional to that it includes a Windows Hello-Camera and of course Wifi.
Both speakers are on the left and right side of the keyboard and give a really good audio quality for their size.
The battery life varies. In idle mode, the Razer Blade Stealth lasted around 8 hours which is pretty average. If you are playing or doing intense works on it, the periode running on battery went down actually to the half, around 4 hours.

Conclusion

Actually, overall I am pretty happy with the Razer Blade Stealth 13. It’s not the perfect ultrabook even if you can play pretty much everything on it. For longer journeys you still have to watch out for a power socket. The price is also pretty high and for that value, you can get easily other models, even when they have a 15″ size which are better. In the end, the quality of the product is outstanding but keep in mind, you can get better for less.

What experiences do you have with ultrabooks? When you also use a Razer Blade Stealth 13, tell me your experiences!
