Are you planning to buy AI PCs?

ComputerWorld.com reported that “A new breed of PC is hitting the market. Here’s how AI PCs are different from traditional PCs and why you should consider upgrading to the new devices this year.”  The April 8, 2025 report entitled “Should you buy AI PCs for your workforce in 2025?” (https://www.computerworld.com/article/3854726/should-you-buy-ai-pcs-for-your-workforce-in-2025.html) included these comments:

As generative AI continues to dominate technology news, the hype around AI PCs is growing. It’s easy to see the appeal of personal computers powerful enough to handle genAI processing tasks.

Offered by all the major PC vendors, AI PCs include hardware and software designed to accelerate AI workloads across the central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), and neural processing unit (NPU). AI is primarily a server-side application, but AI PCs offload at least some of the processing to the client.

But these are very early days for the AI PC market, and IT buyers may be cautious, wondering why they should invest in AI PCs when so many genAI tools are accessible through the web.
