Panel 1
*Alex, Sam, and Robin are sitting at a café table, laptops open, with San Francisco’s skyline in the background. Alex looks excited, pointing at something on their screen.*
Alex: Can you believe it? Microsoft is finally having a big event in San Francisco! They’re going to talk about local AI and the future of Windows and Surface!
Panel 2
*Sam looks unimpressed, sipping coffee and typing away. Robin looks up from their laptop, a mischievous grin on their face.*
Sam: Great. Another announcement about how AI is going to make everything better. I swear, if they say “AI” one more time, I’m going to throw my laptop out the window.
Robin: Wait, wait! Imagine if they announced a Surface tablet with a keyboard that actually feels like a real keyboard! Wouldn’t that be the ultimate dream?
Panel 3
*Alex leans back in their chair, grinning widely. Sam rolls their eyes, and Robin looks hopeful.* Robin (to Sam) Sam (sighs)
Alex: Hey, who knows? Maybe they’ll surprise us! I’m just hoping it’s not all smoke and mirrors.
Robin: You know, I bet they’ll announce a new feature that makes your laptop’s battery last forever. Then you won’t need to throw anything out the window!
Sam: Yeah, right. Keep dreaming.
