When people talk about AI, there's an instinct to immediately showcase the most grand vision of the future. "You'll be able to bring the vision in your head to life, locate any hopelessly lost file, and put yourself dunking into the next basketball game you watch." That stuff is all cool, but those things aren't for everyone. There are a ton of vital, quality-of-life increases that AI is going to deliver that will have a profound impact on your day-to-day.
Owning an AI PC isn't just about whipping up a generative masterpiece; it's also about battery efficiency and automating your processes, giving you the most valuable resource—time. Let's take a look at some of the latest and most powerful AI PCs, all driven by the Intel Core Ultra (Series 2). This processor, also known as Lunar Lake, sets a new standard for efficiency, security and performance in Intel's mobile processors. With more than 300+ AI features, these laptops give you the power to build your future, today. You don't have to catch up when you're already ahead of the curve.
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition
Late last year, I went through the process of pulling every picture off my phone. The only issue was my phone and my laptop don't really talk to each other, so it was an onerous process to get them on the same page. The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition completely circumvents that with Smart Share which uses an AI sensor to connect with your smartphone instantly. Just set up and run the Smart Share app, tap your compatible phone to your laptop, and you're backing up those photos before you know it.
This laptop also provides battery life long enough that you can go outlet free for a full day, and its 15.3-inch 2.8K touchscreen display has edge-to-edge visibility. Unleash Adobe Photoshop on your photos and get to editing. Powered by the Intel Core Ultra processors, you can use generative fill to provide your photo with more of a backdrop or clean up blemishes with ease. No pimple deserves posterity.
Asus Vivobook S 14
If you're using your laptop as your entertainment hub, the Asus Vivobook S 14 has you covered. The 14-inch 3K 120Hz OLED display will make all your games, movies, and shows look incredible. Don't worry about putting this PC through its paces either. Asus' signature IceCool thermal technology makes sure your computer can manage demanding workloads without missing a beat.
Another way the Vivobook S 14 stays cool is by using less power. With the Intel Core Ultra processors, your machine will operate more efficiently than ever before, maximizing your electricity optimization. This CPU literally learns what you use and how you use it, optimizing your performance while keeping overheating at bay.
Dell XPS 13
Want a laptop you won't be afraid to take into the world? The Dell XPS 13 is built for durability. The chassis is precision crafted with machine-milled aluminum and the screen is made using Gorilla Glass 3, which provides a strong, scratch resistant surface that is still reactive and smooth when in use as a touchscreen.
Durability isn't just about the outside of a laptop. It's also about the security of your machine. This computer is able to leverage AI and the Intel processor’s NPU detect cyber attacks faster, combat phishing scams from fraudulent websites, and keep your data safe from malicious actors. A durable exterior and a secure interior. What more could you want?
Acer Swift 14 AI
In sports, there's an axiom: the greatest ability is availability. You can't get in the game if you're on the bench and your laptop isn't a laptop if you have to stay tethered to your wall outlet. Battery efficiency is one of the core traits that will make or break your experience with a mobile computer. The Acer Swift 14 AI delivers that in spades, with up to 29 hours of video playback and 23 hours of web browsing. A multi-day battery is the true killer app for any laptop.
Along with that battery life, you can expect a high-res display, seamless connectivity and a 1440p webcam. This laptop is a great match for a creator. The Intel Core Ultra processors power advanced editing options for Wondershare Filmora like image creation, frame adjustment and music generation, making editing easier than ever. This tech allow you to be your most creative, productive self.
Asus Zenbook S 14
The Asus Zenbook S 14 is made with Ceraluminum, an Asus-developed material that combines some of the best traits of both ceramic and aluminum. Let me stress that it's made with Ceraluminum, not coated, so you can rely on the finish not to wear. More than just aesthetically pleasing, this also allows the Zenbook S 14 to be ultrathin (0.47 inches) and ultralight (2.56 pounds), so you'll never feel like you're lugging it around.
That's not the only innovation in this laptop. The Zenbook S 14 benefits from a growing list of 300+ experiences specifically designed to take advantage of AI advancements on Intel PCs. The Asus Lumina OLED display provides an immersive visual experience and the Harman-designed speakers are state of the art. From the programs to the casing, every inch of this computer is on the cutting edge.
