The technology landscape is changing significantly. In terms of impact, this is comparable to the rise of smartphones in the mid-2000s. Since then, new technological advances have continued to emerge, but none have had the same transformative impact as the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). . AI is not just a technical trend or phase, it is fundamentally changing the way we live and work.
AI is no longer optional. It is important that companies use AI and help their employees apply AI in their daily work. To achieve this, companies must provide the right tools employees need to realize the full potential of AI. Renewing PCs across the organization is critical. This offers numerous benefits including improved productivity and efficiency as well as ensuring a competitive advantage.
Analysts believe that with an AI PC, employees can benefit from tools that are more responsive to their needs than ever before. Technology providers promise that these devices represent a quantum leap over traditional computers. They offer a combination of computing power and intelligent features that can redefine and improve business processes. Furthermore, they argue that an innovation like this that applies AI to everyday processes will bring immediate and tangible benefits to employees – while executives work on broader AI strategies to drive long-term growth.
Despite the significant benefits these devices offer, business leaders are still hesitant to invest in them. There are several obstacles to wider adoption.
Analysts say uncertainty, cost concerns and the fact that use cases are still in development are the biggest barriers to adoption.
The cost of AI PCs is higher due to specialized hardware and complex integration. This leads to reluctance, particularly in economically difficult times. The fact that the technology is so new and changing rapidly also makes long-term planning difficult, especially in cases where the benefits of AI are not immediately apparent. Without a clear and immediate return on investment (ROI), it is difficult to justify the potentially significant initial investment.
65% of Belgian companies are convinced that AI will transform industries.

At the same time, our own Innovation Catalyst study shows that two thirds (65%) of Belgian companies are convinced that AI will transform the industry. Companies are accepting that the integration of AI tools will soon be essential. Furthermore, the majority of companies seem to be convinced that AI-powered machines will significantly increase human capabilities and take productivity to new levels. AI is essential in the future, so companies would do well to embrace change and seriously consider the transformative power of AI PCs to help their employees work more productively and efficiently.
What does this transformation look like? AI-enabled PCs not only have significant computing power, but are also designed to increase human ingenuity.
These devices act as intelligent partners that streamline workflows, automate repetitive processes and provide instant access to information. This frees people up for strategic thinking and creative problem solving, which is critical to driving innovation and business success in today’s competitive environment.
AI PCs free employees from mundane and more time-consuming tasks and allow them to focus more on strategy and value creation – which requires critical thinking and creativity. Employees can explore new ideas, experiment with different approaches and develop innovative solutions that provide a competitive advantage. Increased productivity and efficiency lead to shorter lead times, better project results and more optimal use of available resources.
Features like Copilot+ in AI PCs also provide instant access to information and insights that help people make more informed decisions. This feature allows relevant data to be quickly captured, analyzed and presented clearly and concisely. This helps employees make smarter, data-driven decisions while mitigating risk and optimizing outcomes. By automating recurring tasks and optimizing work processes, the cognitive load on employees is also reduced. This can lead to reduced stress levels and increased engagement, which in turn leads to increased productivity and innovative thinking.
AI PCs use dedicated AI processors (NPUs) for AI workloads, allowing CPUs and GPUs to efficiently run other applications. This seamless multitasking feature helps employees complete multiple tasks with ease, making them more productive and focused.
Intelligent AI-based services can analyze device usage patterns and identify optimization opportunities.

Dedicated NPUs enable AI PCs to simultaneously perform AI-intensive tasks such as image recognition, natural language processing and machine learning without impacting the performance of other applications. This enables employees to run complex simulations, analyze large data sets, and perform other important tasks while benefiting from a smooth, responsive user experience.
These capabilities of AI PCs are particularly interesting for employees who need to work on multiple projects or with multiple applications at the same time. For example, a designer can edit high-resolution images, run 3D rendering software, and communicate with clients via video calls. All without lag or performance issues.
As mentioned earlier, return on investment after investing in AI PCs is a big concern. Therefore, it is necessary to fully focus on a seamless transition that maximizes value and minimizes disruption. If companies dare to take the step, the initial investments can be offset by using the extensive range of services offered by technology partners.
Partners that enable connections to a broader ecosystem of software and expertise can be a great support during the transition. They help with strategic planning and implementation, leveraging their in-depth knowledge of AI technologies and best practices to avoid common pitfalls and minimize costly downtime. These partners’ proactive monitoring and maintenance services ensure optimal performance with regular software updates, hardware diagnostics and remote support, ensuring AI PCs always function optimally.
Intelligent AI-based services can analyze device usage patterns and identify optimization opportunities. This enables services to provide valuable, tailored insights and recommendations to improve performance, reduce costs and improve user experience. By constantly monitoring PCs and optimizing them with AI, companies can increase the utility of their PCs and support their business goals, which can ultimately lead to better ROI.
Despite all doubts, the introduction of AI is the future for companies. AI PCs are critical to this future as they help employees and drive long-term growth and success. The potential benefits of AI PCs far outweigh the perceived disadvantages. Companies would do well to partner with technology providers to secure their future.
