What can laptops with artificial intelligence do?

You've probably noticed that there's been a lot of talk about artificial intelligence (AI) laptops lately, but do you know what exactly that means and what their benefits are?

What is an AI laptop?

AI laptops are specific in that they can quickly and efficiently perform tasks related to artificial intelligence. To do this, it is necessary to have a newer processor that has an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) part.

The first such processors started appearing last year, but their NPU was slow (about 11 TOPS, or one trillion operations per second), and the first “real” mobile AI processors were introduced only a few months ago.

This usually means that the NPU has a speed of at least 40 TOPS, because Microsoft has determined that this is the lower limit so that some of Windows' advanced features can be used, reports Telegraph.

What are the advantages of such a computer?

One might wonder why you should invest in an AI computer when there are many online services that offer similar capabilities. There are several important advantages. First of all, privacy protection, because whatever data you process and whatever content you create, it all stays on your computer.

Online services are often not free or the free version has limitations. Furthermore, if a large number of users send requests at the same time, you will have to wait.

You have no limits on your AI laptop and you are always first in line. And it's free. Plus, you don't need the internet to work, so you can use AI anytime, anywhere.

Which laptop has a powerful NPU?

What can laptops with AI do in the example of the ASUS Zenbook S 16 (UM5606) model? It was chosen because it has a powerful AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 processor. As the processor's label says, it is optimized for artificial intelligence and its NPU offers up to 50 TOPS.

Of course, the Zenbook S 16 offers much more than just a processor. It's a very thin and light laptop with a large 16-inch ASUS Lumina OLED display.

Its cover is made of innovative Ceraluminium material, the main feature of which is that it is as light as aluminum and as wear-resistant as ceramics. Zenbook S 16 has up to 6 speakers, so it is also ideal as a multimedia device.

Whether you're in the business of managing social media accounts, building websites, or just occasionally needing illustrations for presentations, AI can be a huge help. Even if you don't need it for work, creating images with the help of artificial intelligence is a lot of fun.

ASUS Zenbook S 16, thanks to the powerful NPU, allows you to turn your ideas into attractive illustrations in just a few steps, simply by describing what you want.

Want to remove or replace the background in existing images or videos? With the help of a laptop that has an NPU, you will do it much easier, more accurately and faster. Do you have old low-resolution photos? You already guessed it, with the help of artificial intelligence and the right program you can give them a new life.

New Windows features

The update that brings the new Windows features will be available for AMD and Intel processors by the end of the year, and interestingly, not all laptops will be able to use the new features. The minimum will be that the processor has an NPU with at least 40 TOPS, and such computers are called Copilot+ PCs.

What are the most interesting innovations?

The Recall option will offer the ability to search for everything you've done in the last few months. For example, you saw some nice sneakers or a T-shirt, but you don't remember which page. Just type the description of what you're looking for in the search field, for example red sneakers, and the computer will display all the moments in which there were red sneakers on the screen.

Until now, only text search was possible, but in the future you will be able to search for anything, because your Copilot+ computer will “understand” what is on the screen. By simply describing the content, you will be able to find the place where you took the photo or find a diagram that a colleague sent you. The possibilities are endless.

Have you found a video in a foreign language that you don't understand and you don't have subtitles? Or maybe your interlocutor doesn't speak English during an online meeting? ASUS Zenbook S 16 will be able to create subtitles in real time. Most things will be available in English at first, but the number of supported languages ​​will increase.

For example, currently “Live Captions,” as the real-time captioning feature is called, supports translation from 44 languages ​​into English.

Is that all?

Absolutely not. Almost all major software manufacturers are working on new versions that will take advantage of artificial intelligence. Soon, a laptop without an NPU will be like a laptop with an integrated graphics card on which you want to play games.
