Did you know that AI PCs are helping to shape the future of working and learning? The latest AI PCs are equipped with dedicated Neural Processing Units (NPUs) that intelligently manage tasks like summarisation, content generation, real-time transcription and more.
We asked Lauren Evans, Head of Technology Solutions at Winc to share her thoughts on how AI PCs are ideal for hybrid work environments and modern learning setups.
“AI PCs have been designed for efficiency, endurance and on-device intelligence, delivering all-day performance, even when running advanced workloads like AI-enhanced meetings, production automation and media editing,” says Lauren.
“AI is becoming a core part of the tools we use every day from Microsoft 365 to Adobe Creative Cloud and Zoom. Devices without AI capabilities will quickly fall behind as software becomes more intelligent and resource intensive.”
AI PC’s are becoming the new standard. The Microsoft Surface Laptop 6 includes an AI-powered Surface Studio Camera and Windows Studio Effects, featuring automatic framing, eye contact and background blur. As well as Co-Pilot to transform how you work and elevate your productivity through typing, touch gestures and voice commands.
So with your AI enabled PC, here are four key pieces of technology which can unlock your devices full potential.
1. Next generation webcams to lift your video calls.
Connecting an AI enabled PC to an AI webcam now features facial tracking, gesture control and background blur for smart, more engaging video calls.
“Gone are the days of constantly repositioning yourself in front of the webcam with AI technology that can zoom, pan and edit as you go about your meetings. An AI PC does the job for you by using its Neural Processing Units to handle real-time activity,” says Lauren.
Consider the Logitech C922 Pro Stream Webcam which offers full high-definition 1080p streaming capability that captures all the details with auto-light correction to fine tune conditions and produce razor sharp video streaming.
2.Make your headsets work harder.
An AI PC works along AI headsets to improve call quality with algorithms to optimise audio input. It can also boost productivity with AI tools and voice commands that help users stay focused without interruptions.
“Allow AI technology to make you sound your best in meetings without having to multi-task or worry about your audio delivery,” says Lauren.
Go for the Evolve2 65 Flex Wireless Stereo Headset Teams Charging Stand Foldable Active Noise Cancelling USB C to elevate your headset game. It offers superior sound quality, noise cancelling and comfort. Its advanced microphone captures your voice accurately, enabling seamless voice recognition and enhancing productivity.
3.Smart Displays and Docks to power you through.
AI PCs do many things at once in the background to deliver efficiencies and it’s no different when expanding your workspace with multi-screen setups designed for seamless AI multitasking and hybrid work. A docking station can provide the necessary high-performance, multi-display, and peripheral connectivity to run AI applications and AI-powered tools on a connected computer.
“Connect your dock to multiple smart displays to run interfaces simultaneously and ensure it can withstand the demands of all connected items with a high-power stream,” says Lauren.
The Targus USB C Universal Dual 4k Docking Station With 100w Power Delivery offers 100W power to keep your devices charged and connected including screens and USB-C devices with its four USB 3.0 ports that transfer data quickly, along with an ethernet port for a strong network link.
4.Keyboard and mice working to enhance your experience.
AI PC can learn and adapt to your habits, and AI keyboards and mice is improving typing efficiency and mice navigation.
“AI enabled keyboards offer predictive text, grammar checks and other adjustments for comfort and speed, while for mice customised gestures and performance upgrades are made possible,” says Lauren.
For AI technology, opt for the LogitechMx Keys Combo For Business (Gen 2) which offers wireless connectivity, plug and play convenience and countless customisations with the Logi Options+ app. It can also last up to 70 days on a full charge.
