AI PCs are specially designed computers that incorporate discrete neural processing units (NPUs) to manage and accelerate AI tasks. Unlike traditional PCs, which rely solely on CPUs and GPUs, AI PCs can process AI computations more efficiently and quickly. This results in faster outcomes for users, personalized experiences tailored to individual preferences, and enhanced security since data processing occurs locally on the device.

Schools are increasingly adopting AI PCs to improve productivity and personalize learning. For instance, 93% of K-12 organizations are considering or piloting AI PCs. Teachers are using AI to assist with administrative tasks, brainstorm ideas, create teaching materials, and plan lessons. This integration aims to enhance staff productivity and provide tailored educational resources for students.

AI PCs come with several security features designed to protect sensitive data. They process information locally, reducing the risk of exposure during data transit. Lenovo Aura Edition devices, for example, include Shield Mode, which uses computer vision to alert users if someone is looking over their shoulder and automatically blurs the screen. Additionally, these devices are equipped with Lenovo ThinkShield® and Intel vPro® for comprehensive security management.
