As AI technology continues to advance, we're witnessing a growing trend toward AI-capable PCs. According to a report from Statista, AI-capable PC shipments are forecast to grow from 48 million in 2024 to 205 million in 2028.
From intelligent personal assistants and advanced image recognition to natural language processing and real-time data analysis, these devices have the potential to make our daily lives a lot easier.
