With all the hype around AI PCs this year, you might think everyone is loving the AI on their laptops -- but the IDC thinks it's irrelevant to sales.
New research by the International Data Corporation shows that although AI PC s are selling well and will likely continue to, it’s not the onboard generative AI that’s driving sales — it’s just the usual refresh cycle.
Recommended Videos As the IDC put it: “While AI has been a buzzword of late, it has yet to be a purchase driver among PC buyers.” This doesn’t mean the IDC is denying the future value of AI overall, however. It’s just that many businesses are struggling to see the immediate use case and consumers don’t really believe the AI on their PC and the Neural Processing Unit powering it are relevant to them.
The reason for this is fairly simple: AI PCs might not be what people want to buy right now, but it is what companies want to sell. So when people need a new top-of-the-line laptop that will last for a good number of years, AI PCs will be some of the best options out there.
