Report Overview

The first AI PCs launched in 2023, with early adoption beginning in 2024. As Forrester details in this complimentary report, "The Year of the AI PC is 2025," AI PC adoption is expected to surge in the coming year as OEMs bring a wide variety of systems to market at different price points.

From cost savings and productivity improvements to its evaluation of some of the challenges around AI adoption, "The Year of the AI PC is 2025" is a robust and thorough examination of the topic and a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a nuanced view on AI's immediate and long-term potential.

The AI PC Will Improve Digital Employee Experience

Supercharge Employee Productivity

Leaders foresee many use cases for genAI, from content creation, to meeting transcription, and code development. While corporate-approved genAI apps, such as Microsoft Copilot, often run as cloud services today, running them locally in the future will enable them to interact with local hardware, such as cameras and microphones, with less latency.

Improve the Collaboration Experience

Dedicated AI chipsets will improve the performance of classic collaboration features, such as background blur and noise, by sharing resources across CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs. Perhaps most intriguing, local AI will enable real-time translation for speakers of different languages.

Optimize Device Performance and Longevity

The addition of an NPU will help preserve battery life while employees run sustained AI workloads. Component monitoring for clock speeds, fans, or thermals will feed AI algorithms on the device to optimize its performance, reduce breaks, and extend PC life. Running models locally will also reduce latency compared to cloud-hosted versions and enable employees to access them without an internet connection.

Deliver Personalized Computing

AI PCs will get to know a user’s preferences and behaviors over time and adjust accordingly. They’ll understand personal traits like accents and speech patterns through microphones to create more accurate email responses. They’ll learn individual productivity preferences, filtering out notifications and distracting content while a developer is trying to code or alerting a salesperson when a high-value prospect emails back.
