What is an AI PC?
Let’s first take a look at the base “AI PC” term.
The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 for 2024 is considered an AI PC thanks to an AMD Ryzen CPU with NPU.
In a general sense, anAI PChas certain hardware inside designed for local AI acceleration.
AMD and Intel each have current-gen CPUs with an NPU, and they power many of ourfavorite AI laptops.
These chips will power upcoming laptops released in 2024, but they won’t initially ship with Copilot+ compatibility.

What is a Copilot+ PC?
The new Copilot+ term is primarily used to denote a next-gen set of AI features coming to Windows 11.
Both Intel and AMD have unveiled NPUs with more than 40 TOPS that are compatible with Copilot+.
Dell’s XPS 14 (9440) is considered an AI PC thanks to Intel Core Ultra hardware with NPU inside.
That only makes sense considering how RTX 40-series mobile GPUs can provide up to 1,000 TOPS of power.
Which one is better for you?
On the other hand, buying an AI PC doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get Copilot+.
HP’s new OmniBook X 14 and EliteBook Ultra G1q are Copilot+ PCs with a Snapdragon X SoC.
