An insightful breakdown of the CoreWeave situation.

This one is for the real finance sickos — what the increased cost of capital for CoreWeave means. Marc Rubenstein, a former hedgie, is fairly granular about CoreWeave’s loans, which is helpful for trying to understand this situation. I came away wondering if Nvidia, which I think is is functionally the central bank for the neoclouds, will decide to bail CoreWeave out, and if so, what that will look like.

Asus’ new business laptop will have 8GB of RAM and be aimed at less business-y types.

Asus is announcing the ExpertBook A7: a 14-inch laptop with a 120Hz OLED display and an Intel Core 5 320 chip. It’s available today, starting at $1,299.99 with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. But coming in the new year is an 8GB / 256GB version for a more affordable $899. 8GB felt workable in the XPS 13, and it didn’t have a fancy OLED, but it cost $200 less. Update, October 14th: The entry-level ExpertBook will have 12GB of RAM for $899, not 8GB. See new post here.
