The PC industry saw a massive decline over the last few years, but rebounded this year: HP reported its first increase in PC sales in two years in the last year, thanks to a rise in commercial sales. Consumer sales, meanwhile, slipped.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s new AI computers will be available for consumer sale, but it\u2019s also heavily aimed at offices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery board of directors is asking their executive staff to make AI real,\u201d said Alex Cho, president of HP\u2019s Personal Systems business.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>J.D.\u2019s view<\/p>\n<p>The rollout of the new PC feels like an effort from HP to reduce skepticism surrounding AI laptops \u2014 and whether they can actually do more than popular web-based systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the talk around AI PCs has been ambition and opportunity,\u201d Cho told me, \u201cand now people have been asking us, \u2018So what can I do?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At an event for journalists, analysts, and industry partners in New York last week, Cho and other HP executives reiterated the message that they want to \u201cmake AI real,\u201d which was repeated in marketing materials for the new PCs. And apps like Zoom and an AI-powered DJ software showed off how they benefit from the tech upgrades.<\/p>\n<p>I got some brief hands-on time with one of the new AI-infused laptops, and found it has some helpful work functions, like the ability to create the custom library. Realistically, though, the tools will only be used in concert with cloud-based systems. As I queried HP\u2019s on-device AI companion chatbot, I also had the option of pulling up Microsoft\u2019s Copilot bot, which can search the web.<\/p>\n<p>It all gave me the sense that we\u2019re heading toward a future of work where we\u2019ll have to wade through a variety of different bots with differing capabilities, datasets, and access to the internet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think it\u2019s going to be a hybrid environment,\u201d Cho told me.<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit of a localized AI is security. Cho pointed out that a law firm that wants to query sensitive documents, or someone parsing through medical records, would rather not have to first upload that information to a cloud-based AI system.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Room for Disagreement<\/p>\n<p>For some office workers who get the new HP PCs \u2014 or any AI computer, for that matter \u2014 many of the advancements may go unnoticed, and instead will simply feel like standard technological improvements that come with a laptop upgrade, like a better camera and battery.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to some generative AI advancements, it\u2019s not necessarily flashy stuff, which could make AI PCs a harder mainstream sell.<\/p>\n<p>The push comes as we enter an \u201cAI-in-everything\u201d era, which could make users feel disillusioned, Chris Stokel-Walker wrote in Fast Company. \u201cThe less satisfying people\u2019s experience with these AI-powered tools, the quicker they\u2019re likely to tire of the tech.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Retrieved from: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.semafor.com\/article\/07\/17\/2024\/hps-new-ai-computer-raises-the-stakes-in-the-battle-of-tech-hardware\">https:\/\/www.semafor.com\/article\/07\/17\/2024\/hps-new-ai-computer-raises-the-stakes-in-the-battle-of-tech-hardware<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":6252,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":""},"categories":[15,9],"tags":[32],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6265"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6265"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6265\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6269,"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6265\/revisions\/6269"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6252"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acudc.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
