Wait, there are AI PCs now. How are they different from the run-of-the-mill PC? They’re more expensive, but you expected that, right?
Designed to handle AI models on board, an AI PC utilizes three processing units: a CPU, a GPU, and an NPU (neural processing unit). The addition of the NPU spreads the processing power around.
The PCs are not as prone to overheating and provide the extra power necessary to use AI right on the PC. No sending lots of data back and forth to the cloud, increasing security and privacy, and reducing cost.
Is your industry highly regulated or requires a high level of privacy? An AI PC is ideal for your business. Employees can use AI on their PCs without worrying about security or compliance problems.
If you have many PCs running Windows 10, now is the perfect time to upgrade to AI PCs. You must purchase extended support for Windows 10 PCs by October 2025 or upgrade to Windows 11 machine. As more AI apps become available, your business can take advantage of them immediately.
What to look for in an AI PC: an AI-ready processor, an excellent TOPS performance rating, a good GPU, 16GB or more of memory, and integrated AI software. The HP Omnibook X, Asus ProArt P16, and MacBook Air M3 are highly rated. The HP Omnibook and Asus ProArt are in stock on Amazon.
