Starting a career may feel like it’s too overwhelming with things highly competitive and AI now entering the picture.
You’ll need the right tools to take full advantage of the latest advancements in AI. If you’re looking to take your career to the next level, here are AI PC features to look out for as listed by our friends from ASUS.
ASUS – Search for the AI PC
AI-Readiness
The first step is to check if the laptop is an AI PC. The easiest way to do this is to look at the processor. If the CPU features a neural processing unit (NPU), it’s well-positioned to handle AI processes.
Options can include most of the latest-generation Intel Core Ultra series processors, the latest CPU offering from AMD, featuring AMD Ryzen AI, or the Snapdragon processors.
When choosing an AI-powered CPU, consider the TOPS (trillion operations per second) number under its NPU in the specifications table. The ideal is 40 TOPS or more.
It would also be better if the laptop were described as a Copilot+ PC. This means that the laptop is designed to provide next-level AI experiences. These feature the latest version of Copilot – the personal AI assistant from Microsoft. Moreover, they have a dedicated Copilot key on the keyboard and have easy access to Copilot+ features like Live Captions, Cocreator, and more.
The latest AI PCs from ASUS also feature a whole of ASUS-exclusive AI-powered smart tools for a more pleasant experience. These include the company’s new StoryCube, Two-Way AI Noise Cancellation, Adaptive Dimming, and Adaptive Lock.
Performance for Any Task
Aside from handling AI, the laptop will also need to do well with other everyday tasks like browsing the internet, word processing, or video conferencing.
A laptop well-positioned to handle most work tasks like an exceptional CPU like an Intel Core Ultra, the latest AMD Ryzen AI 300, or the all-new Snapdragon processors. These CPUs feature NPUs for AI processing and integrated GPUs ready for most everyday tasks, multimedia gaming, or light gaming.
At least 16GB of RAM should be used as a solid minimum and ample storage space, preferably 1TB or more is advisable.
Flexibility for Working Anywhere
The lighter and thinner the laptop, the easier it is to take anywhere. ASUS offers multiple AI PCs that weigh 1.5kg or less and have a thin profile of around 1.5cm or less.
When it comes to screen size, something like 15.6-16 inches proves to be a sweet spot.
The new ASUS AI PCs provide up to at least 18 hours of seamless productivity on a single charge. It allows users to get through the entire workday without carrying a charger.
You’ll also need diverse I/O ports to fully utilize any workspace include USB4 (preferably with power delivery and display support), USB 3.2 Type-A ports, an HDMI 2.1 slot, and an audio jack. A laptop with a microSD card reader is also highly beneficial, especially if you work with photography or video footage.
