AI PCs will make up nearly 60% of total PC shipments by 2027
AI-enabled PCs and genAI smartphones set to take off
One in five PCs this year will ship with AI-enabled chips inside — and by 2027, six in 10 PCs shipped will be AI-native, according to research released Wednesday from IDC and Gartner. Shipments of AI-enabled smartphones are also predicted to explode over the next year.
Shipments of artificial intelligence (AI) PCs — personal computers with specific system-on-a-chip (SoC) capabilities designed to run generative AI (genAI) tasks locally — are expected to grow from nearly 50 million units in 2024 to more than 167 million in 2027, according to new report from research firm IDC.

For Windows 10 PCs — out with the old, in with the new?
You’ve probably heard that Windows 11 is a “meh” operating system. And Windows 12 is little more than a dream at this point. But with Microsoft no longer updating Windows 10 (except for security fixes), what’s a PC geek got to do to get the most from Windows now?
In helping people with their computers, I’ve found there are often three types of Windows users: Those with a viable computer that supports Windows 11; those with a decent computer that for one hardware reason or another just won’t support Windows 11 and those whose PC sorely needs hardware upgrades or an outright replacement to be a viable computer for the next two years.

Both elements are surprisingly high-quality for the price, with a nicer-looking and better-feeling scissor switch keyboard with circular keycaps and a compact 2.4GHz mouse that provides better speed and accuracy than a trackpad.
