Nvidia's 'reinventing the PC' pitch at Computex meets user skepticism

At Computex Nvidia kept returning to the idea of "reinventing the PC," tying that message to its RTX Spark SoC and the claim that it will power "the world’s first Windows PCs purpose-built for personal agents." Jensen Huang argued the personal computer is "really the world's largest edge device, and it's 40 years old," and must be updated for agentic systems.

Huang sketched a vision in which PCs act like ever-present assistants: devices that sit at home yet are constantly active, where "I'll be chatting in WhatsApp with my agent, and it's doing stuff... and my agents are going to have names, and they're on my WhatsApp, and we're just chatting all the time.

I'll be talking to it, and it's going to be talking back. It'll call me." He suggested many people will want these agents to live in secure, performant machines they can carry and use for a long time. That future prompts practical doubts.
