Starting your career can be very overwhelming, especially with artificial intelligence becoming a major player in the job market. It feels like every entry-level gig has been taken over by robots, right? But before you hit the panic button, let's flip the script. Remember when computers first came out and everyone thought they were going to take all our jobs? Spoiler alert: they don't! Instead, they become our trusted partners. The same can probably be said for artificial intelligence – it’s a tool that can help you advance your career if you use it correctly.
So, how do you stay ahead of the curve and make artificial intelligence your ally? The answer lies in choosing the right gear. Ready to start your career? Here's the lowdown on the AI PC features you should be paying attention to.
AI Laptops: Is your laptop up to the challenge?
First, make sure your laptop supports AI. Look at the processor – it's the heart of the machine. If it contains a Neural Processing Unit (NPU), you're on the right track. Check out the latest Intel Core Ultra series, AMD Ryzen AI processors or Snapdragon processors for best-in-class AI performance.
When you're looking for specs, keep an eye out for TOPS (tera operations per second) ratings. Aim for at least 40 TOPS or more. Want to go all out? Find Copilot+ computers. These bad boys are designed for premium AI experiences, with benefits like enhanced security, faster performance, and cool personalization options. They come with Microsoft's Copilot AI assistant, dedicated Copilot keys, and features like Live Subtitles and Cocreator.
ASUS is also killing it with AI-powered smart tools, such as ASUS StoryCube, two-way AI noise reduction, and adaptive dimming. These features will make your user experience smoother and more enjoyable.
Performance enough for everything
In addition to artificial intelligence, your laptop also handles everyday tasks such as browsing, word processing, and video calls. If your job involves heavy lifting, such as image or video editing, you'll need a laptop that can keep up.
Look for a machine with a powerful CPU—an Intel Core Ultra, AMD Ryzen AI 300, or Snapdragon processor are all good options. These CPUs come with NPU for AI tasks and integrated GPU for handling multimedia and light gaming. Aim for at least 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage to ensure you have enough space for all your files and apps.
Flexible mobile lifestyle
If you're always on the move, thin and light laptops are a game-changer. ASUS has a batch of AI PCs that weigh about 1.5 kilograms and are about 1.5 centimeters thick. Perfect for throwing in your bag and heading out.
The 15.6- to 16-inch screen size strikes the right balance—enough room to work comfortably without feeling bulky. Battery life is also crucial. Look for a laptop with at least 18 hours of battery life, allowing you to work and play without having to constantly hunt for a charger.
Also, make sure your laptop has a range of I/O ports to connect all your devices. USB4 (supports power and display), USB 3.2 Type-A port, HDMI 2.1 and audio jack are must-haves. A MicroSD card reader is an added bonus, especially if you're into photography or video.

Meet the ASUS Vivobook S 15, the first ASUS Copilot+ computer. It is powered by the latest Snapdragon X Plus processor and comes with a killer 3K 120 Hz ASUS Lumina OLED display.
