Well, these are definitely laptops in the truest sense of the word. But where's the design excellence?
 
"The "Featured Finalist" category highlights design that exhibits outstanding innovation and creativity, even if they did not win a top prize."
So basically they tried but they are the losers.
 
Oh man, imagine working for one of these companies and having to say this is actually 'a thing'.

It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.
 
highlights design that exhibits outstanding innovation and creativity
Ofc they must win this. They put AI in the name!
 
i don't get it... these look like normal budget laptops. What did they almost win?
 
These awards are pay-to-enter just like the Red Dot awards, and everyone 'wins' in some way or another.

It's pure marketing sponsorship nonsense, and tbh it reflects poorly on companies who choose to flaunt it!
