As businesses anticipate significant hardware investments in 2025, the decision to adopt AI PCs will be pivotal. With the impending end of Windows 10 and advancements in AI-driven technology, IT decision-makers are poised to consider how AI PCs, which contain neural processing units (NPUs), can enhance productivity. The advantages include faster on-device processing, data privacy, and reduced latency. While the initial cost of AI PCs may be higher, their long-term benefits are expected to justify the investment, marking a notable shift in workplace computing dynamics.
All AI PCs offer a common set of benefits over non-NPU systems, according to IDC's analyst brief, Planning for the Future. One of these is local inferencing.
The dominant trends of 2025, however, will be the looming end of Windows 10 and the emergence of AI PCs.
IT decision makers should think of AI PCs as a form of edge computing, performing AI tasks on-device.
Despite the upfront fee of the average AI PC being more than a non-AI PC, the investment should pay off over the device's life cycle.
