Do everyday users actually need this new kind of laptop, or is it just another clever way to sell hardware? Source: Psero LaptopWhat makes an AI laptop differentA regular laptop makes use of its processor to handle most tasks and for graphics, it uses the GPU. In an AI laptop, there is an additional NPU, a chip that helps the laptop accelerate machine learning models. For basic work like browsing, writing, video calls, and streaming, AI laptops do not feel much different from older models. Running AI models on an NPU uses less energy than pushing them through the CPU or GPU.
