| HAVE YOUR COMPUTER QUESTIONS ANSWERED! The program planners for our First Wednesday PATACS meetings in Arlington are looking for topics that members would like to have explored or questions answered - this is your opportunity to have a say in topics addressed at this meeting. This is a smaller meeting than the Fairfax meeting, and it allows for much more interaction between members than is possible in Fairfax. And there's the post-meeting Pizza and Salad SIG, the post-meeting social at a nearby restaurant - another value-added feature of your membership! Please send your suggestions to our meeting program planners at arlmtgpgm@patacs.org. |

Learn in 30: The Rise of the AI PC Join PATACS Director at Large Frank Fota on October 17, 2026, for an insightful presentation, "The Rise of the AI PC and Next-Gen Personal Hardware: Understanding On-Device Intelligence, NPUs, and the New Tech Ecosystem." Moving beyond vendor marketing, this talk explores the underlying architecture powering modern AI-enabled devices—including the critical role of Neural Processing Units (NPUs) in handling local inference, reducing cloud latency, and enhancing data privacy. Attendees will discover key hardware benchmarks across top silicon platforms like Intel Core Ultra, Snapdragon X-Series, and AMD Ryzen AI, review a practical buying checklist for AI-ready work and gaming PCs, and explore emerging personal hardware like smart glasses and wearable assistants that are transforming daily productivity. |

- See Above Banner OPCUG Members Welcome! 4th Wednesday October 28th, 7 PM Zoom Details Will be Sent by Email 5711 S. 4th Street, Arlington, VA 22204 Extended Q&A Troubleshooting Do all your electronics, gadgets, computers, phones, tablets, TV sets, networks, earbuds, and software apps/applications work perfectly? Do you never encounter glitches, freezes, failures? Are you always certain what brand and model product to buy? If so, we'd like to hear about your magic touch. But if you're like the rest of us, none of that is true for you. And so PATACS' first Wednesday meetings may be just the resource you need for a happier technology life. Just as most PATACS meetings begin with a Q&A session, so does this meeting. But then the meeting continues for nothing but Q&A -- meaning that it's possible to have detailed and in-depth discussions, including real-time research and demonstrations. Same as all PATACS meetings, these sessions are free and open to the public. So join in, share your questions, problems, and pain -- and perhaps receive answers, solutions, and relief. |
