I think it’s stupid. An underwater drone can do all the same things but better but not looking like a turtle and potentially getting eaten. 😂

  It’s for special operations in foreign territories. By imitating the movement of a turtle, you have less odd to be detected. Probably financed by DARPA.

  What if that’s the whole point, to get an incredible footage of that as there’s no other way to achieve that

Give it AI, set it free in the ocean, and years later ask it what it learned!

Another reason would be to attach a bomb to it and float it up to a military vessel.

Learn more about the Dell XPS 14:

Can the Dell XPS 14 last a full work day on one charge? In this morning-to-evening run, the 14-inch Copilot+ PC stayed unplugged from 8:32 AM to 7:30 PM through 4K video editing, video calls and a 40 GB file transfer and finished with more than 25% battery left.

BATTERY CHECK-INS
8:32 AM: 100% (4K video export in the park)
10:57 AM: 85% (video meeting)
1:45 PM: 75% (40 GB file transfer)
4:25 PM: 65% (nearly 8 hours of editing, file transfer and meetings)
7:30 PM: 45% (end of workday)

DELL’S BATTERY RATINGS
Up to 31 hours of video streaming (2K display, 250 nits)
Streaming-only ratings run longer than mixed workloads like editing and video calls, so real-world battery life depends on how you use the laptop.

WHO IT’S FOR
Choose the Dell XPS 14 if you want a 3-pound, 14-inch laptop that can handle 4K editing, video calls and large file transfers through a full workday away from an outlet.

DELL XPS 14 SPECS
Weight: about 3 pounds
Thickness: 14.62 mm
Screen size: 14 inches
Processor: Intel Core Ultra with Windows 11
AI: Copilot+ PV with NPU for on-device tasks
Webcam: 8MP 4K
Ports: 3 x Thunderbolt 4, charging on either side
Dell-rated battery: up to 31 hours of video streaming (2K display, 250 nits)
