What is an AI PC?

An AI PC is a personal computer designed to run artificial intelligence tasks locally (on the device) without fully relying on cloud services.

The main difference from traditional PCs is that it includes AI-specialized hardware in addition to the CPU and GPU: a Neural Processing Unit (NPU).

Key Features of an AI PC

• NPU (Neural Processing Unit)

➔ A chip optimized to run AI models quickly and efficiently, such as voice recognition, computer vision, real-time translation, etc.

• Local Processing

➔ Most AI operations are performed directly on the PC, which improves speed, privacy, and energy efficiency.

• Software Optimization

➔ Windows 11, macOS, and other platforms are integrating APIs and frameworks designed to leverage on-device AI capabilities (e.g., Windows Copilot+).

• Enhanced Experiences

➔ Real-time call translation, automatic content generation, image and audio enhancement, document summarization, intelligent file search (like Recall on Windows).

Current Examples of AI PCs

• Surface Laptop Copilot+ (Microsoft) • Acer Swift 14 AI

• ASUS Vivobook S 15 AI

• Dell XPS 13 AI

• MacBook Air (M3) (Apple doesn’t label them as “AI PCs”, but they also feature local AI processing)

All of these devices include powerful NPUs (such as Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite or Apple M3 chips) capable of efficiently running AI models.

Typical AI PC Tasks Today

• Live meeting translation

• Contextual smart file search

• Automatic summarization of documents and emails • Image enhancement in video calls

• Ultra-fast facial recognition

• AI-assisted writing and design

In Summary:

An AI PC represents the next evolution of personal computing—designed to make your experience smarter, faster, more private, and more powerful, without constantly relying on the internet.
