Faster processing, longer battery life, boosted productivity, secured privacy, and improved working efficiency are all benefits of AI PCs that you won’t want to miss out on. Read on to learn more about all the awesome perks of transitioning to AI laptops!

AI PCs

AI PCs are exactly that: laptops equipped with components capable of handling AI-accelerated software and associated workloads. Users will experience latency and slow processing on a regular laptop if they run AI workloads. With the AI era upon us, developers of popular creative software and other productivity-related applications are releasing more AI-powered features. This means users with an AI PC will experience more benefits and higher productivity when creating or working.

AI-related components usually include strong CPUs that feature NPUs (Neural Processing Units) and GPUs that have AI tensor cores. NPUs are designed for accelerating AI tasks and AI tensor cores serve as the basis for deep learning workloads that enable significant speedups in AI performance. Other smart micro processing units such as VPUs that come in AI PCs also contribute to smooth operation of specific AI features.

Working Smarter

The ultra-slim, lightweight, and powerful ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED and ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED laptops feature an innovative Copilot key on their keyboards for seamless usage of AI software in Windows. Equipped with either up to AMD Ryzen™ 9 8945HS processors with Ryzen™ AI embedded, AMD Radeon™ graphics, and NPU technology (M5406 and M5606) or up to Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 processor with built-in Intel® Arc™ integrated graphics and Intel® AI Boost NPU (S5406 and S5606), these ultraportable laptops are a lightweight 1.3 kg1 and are ready for powerful and mobile AI-supported productivity.

You’ll be able to get quick responses from Copilot chat, edit embedded text in snipped images instantly, make prompt lighting, colour, and object removal adjustments to touch up your photos, and much more – all with no latency, using new Windows AI features. This means that you’ll be able to save invaluable time and work smarter, completing tasks faster with the help of AI.

Quality Videoconferencing

As a professional in an online meeting, you want to stand out while your surroundings stay private, communicate as clearly as you would sound in person, and jump between windows to multitask ― without any latency. Face framing, background blurring, and eye contact correction are all smart AI features that have been introduced in AI camera effects on Zenbook DUO (2024) UX8406. Face framing enables people to deliver meeting experiences with less distractions. The software identifies the user’s face, and the camera frame is then readjusted as the user moves, keeping the subject in center and in focus. Background blurring is now more precise, compared to that of traditional laptops. This is thanks to smarter calculation powered by AI, which means no more rough edges around the hair, no more fingers accidentally blurred out when expressing through body language. Natural, genuine-looking, and closer-to-in-person visual communication experiences are also made possible with the eye correction feature, which overlays AI-produced pupils on a user’s eyes so it appears as if the user is always looking straight into the camera.

All these AI features that enhance meeting experiences are supported by the Intel® AI Boost NPU on Zenbook DUO, which offloads AI workloads to give users a smooth meeting experience with zero delay – even if switching between windows and applications is required. This innovative laptop also gives you two 14-inch 3K 120 Hz OLED screens, providing twice as much screen space to pull up information or multitask during conferences. Users can also rest assured that they’ll sound their best with Two-Way AI Noise Cancellation that targets presenter voices and reduces background noise.

Full-Day Battery Performance

Power consumption is drastically reduced through energy management by components in AI PCs. Intel Meteor Lake chips such as up to the Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 Processor in Zenbook 14 OLED (UX3405) use AI to control power transition between active and low-power usage. AI algorithms in the Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 Processor are capable of understanding the manner a user, predicting when a task is completed so it can transition to low-power mode. This helps deliver effective battery preservation.

In addition to supporting fast processing of AI tasks, NPUs also extend battery life. Battery life on both Zenbook 14 OLED and Zenbook DUO are extended by up to 57% when the NPU is switched on compared to when it’s off.

Empowering Creativity

Creative software such as Blender, Adobe, Wondershare Filmora, and many others now have multiple AI features that save creatives large amounts of time and provide inspiration on command. Features such as AI image filler, AI text to image, AI music separation, and more involve large amounts of programming and calculation in the process of AI operation. This explains why TOPs (“trillion operations per second” or “tera operations per second”) is used to measure the power of AI laptop processors. On a related note, you’ll want a CPU with a larger TOPs capability to handle creative AI workloads smoothly.

ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED boasts up to a powerful NVIDIA® GeForce RTXTM 4060 discrete GPU and built in Intel® Arc graphics along with an Intel® Core™ Ultra processor and Intel® AI Boost (NPU), providing seamless collaboration with various independent software vendors (ISVs) and enabling a significant boost in gaming performance. Ray tracing, AI image generation, hardware acceleration, and DLSS technologies in this laptop featuring an NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ Studio GPU enable users to create and game with extreme stability. The NPU within the Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 185H processor contributes power-efficient, low latency AI acceleration to AI workloads, saving you battery life and enabling creative freedom. What’s better – the CPU and GPU combined run at up to 125 W TDP, and ASUS IceCool Pro thermal technology gets the heat out of the way to enable maximum performance of this combination. Whether you’re a creative professional in video, 3D modeling, photos, music production, or you simply want smart meeting features, ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED can deliver smooth experiences with the latest AI tools.

Security Reinforced

ASUS AI laptops come with smart features to protect your privacy. AI-powered ASUS cameras provide Adaptive Dimming and Windows Hello features that ensure a more personalised, protected experience. Adaptive Dimming automatically dims the screen when you look away, obscuring information displayed when your attention is elsewhere. Windows Hello is enabled through the infrared (IR) camera feature and allows users to unlock their laptops fast and securely. Finally, ASUS Adaptive Lock locks your screen when you walk away, serving as a private and energy-efficient solution.
