In this episode of YourTechReport, Marc connects with Dan Ackerman, Editor in Chief of Micro Center News, to dive into their unique experiences of switching between Mac and Windows systems. Dan shares his insights on how Windows has evolved, particularly for gaming and creative tasks, and the pros and cons of each platform. They discuss the small yet powerful nuances that make each system unique—from Mac’s spacebar preview to Windows’ flexibility with gaming.

Dan also reveals details about his recent AI cloning experiment, where he created a virtual version of himself that can respond in real-time for videos and even conduct interviews. With tools like ChatGPT, Eleven Labs, and HeyGen, Dan’s exploration into AI demystifies the process of creating a realistic digital clone for under $50. They touch on the potential of AI avatars in customer service, video narration, and content creation, along with the ethical implications and future of AI in tech.

With Black Friday around the corner and CES on the horizon, Marc and Dan also talk shop about the latest developments in PC gaming, the launch of new Intel and AMD chips, and Micro Center’s expansion into Miami. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, curious about AI, or just looking for the next upgrade, this episode has something for everyone.
