Canalys expects a 10 percent to 15 percent price premium on AI-capable PCs compared with similarly specified PCs without NPU integration. With the spike in adoption, by the end of 2025, over half of PCs priced at US$800 and above will be AI-capable, with this share increasing to over 80 percent by 2028.
“As a result, PC shipments in this price range will grow to account for more than half the market in just four years. This will help boost the overall value of PC shipments from US$225 billion in 2024 to over US$270 billion in 2028,” Canalys Analyst Kieren Jessop said.
