gollark: And being a laptop, there's an "embedded controller" running the fans and whatever, and maybe even a computer thing managing the battery.
gollark: As well as that, the dedicated GPU is arguably a "computer" too, and it has at least one microcontroller on it for various things. Also, the internal keyboard and camera are connected over USB, which means they probably have their own microcontrollers.
gollark: I don't have one of those, but yes.
gollark: It has a WiFi card, obviously, which has yet another computer in it for running... whatever WiFi cards do...
gollark: Graphics Microcontroller and HEVC Microcontroller, they're a weird implementation detail of recent Intel GPUs.
