So I want to make sure that I clarify. Laptops were strong. We also made it a point to say tablets were strong and we're kind of looking at those things together because the newest lineups of tablets that we're seeing, particularly from Apple, are at the same processing power and same price points as some of the most premium laptops that we sell. So I think that's -- the reason I bring that up is because both are lovely examples of not massive innovation, but enough innovation in terms of the strengths of these devices, the look and feel of the devices. We also talked just briefly in our comments about desktops, particularly gaming desktops have been incredibly strong. Again, higher price point, innovation in terms of processing power, and kind of a new way to game even as the console side of the business has been a little bit softer. I can see us heading into based on what's out there and has been announced. Obviously, Apple will make larger announcements here in about a week and a half, but they have made it clear Apple Intelligence is important to them. And again, that's important because it's not just about a phone launch, Apple Intelligence will stretch across devices, it will be on your tablet, it will be on your Mac, it's going to be on your phone. And so the way I characterize this is, it's not so much a revolution, it's an evolution. And I think you're going to see AI capabilities bleed into my point of view, everything with a screen, I think the first realms will be computing, whether that's laptop, ultimately desktop, tablets, and phones, and in most of those cases you're going to want that higher processing power in those devices, obviously potentially proliferating further from there as you think about smart home capabilities or even televisions and the processing and smarts that you might need to stream effectively. So I think that's why we think it's this longer cycle for us, and we've been really clear in saying we never expected everyone to be lined up at the door waiting for their AI devices. It's more that this continues to proliferate across screens.
