AI computers are rapidly taking over the market, and by 2026 they could become the dominant product in the PC space, according to analyst forecasts.
The Age of AI Computing
Gartner Predictions
According to the analytics company Gartner, computers with integrated artificial intelligence (AI) will take leading positions in the market by 2026. It is expected that by 2025 their share will reach 43% of total supplies.
Shipments soaring
Some 43 million AI PCs are expected to ship this year, nearly double last year . Projections for 2025 are even more impressive, with volume expected to increase to 114 million units, representing an increase of 165.5%.
Definition of an AI PC
Gartner characterizes AI PCs as devices equipped with a special neural processing unit (NPU) designed to to handle complex AI problems.
The Inevitability of the Transition
Ranjit Atwal, a senior analyst at Gartner, compares the shift to AI computing to the adoption of Wi-Fi technology. According to him, this is an inevitable process for equipment manufacturers that will determine market share.
Outlook and Pricing
Enrique Lores, HP CEO, projects that by 2027, half of all PCs shipped will be equipped with AI. He also predicts an increase in the average cost of devices in this segment by 5-10%.

Wow, 43% market share by 2025! It looks like AI computers will soon become the norm. I wonder how this will affect our daily work? 🤔
Hans
Yes, Olivia, the progress is impressive! I think this will greatly speed up data processing and creative tasks. Imagine how graphic design or 3D modeling will change with NPU!
Sophie
I agree with both of you! But I'm more interested in how this will affect prices. Enrique Lores speaks of growth of 5-10%. I hope this doesn't make technology less accessible 💸
Carlos
Sophie, I think competition should keep prices down. Plus, the performance of these PCs may justify the slight increase in cost. Imagine how much time we will save! ⏱️💪
Giovanni
Ha! Another fashionable thing. Why do we need these fancy computers? My old laptop handles all tasks perfectly. It's just a ploy by marketers to get us to spend more money.
Anna
Giovanni, I understand your skepticism, but technology does not stand still. NPU can significantly improve the work with video, photos and even help with programming. This is not just fashion, but real technological progress! 🚀
Piotr
Anna is right. I recently tested a PC with an NPU - the difference is enormous in machine learning tasks. Giovanni, maybe you should try it? I'm sure you will change your mind!
Olivia
Guys, have you thought about the impact of AI computers on the labor market? On the one hand, this can automate many processes, but on the other hand, it can create new professions. What do you think?
