This week Kree and Varun sit down in studio with Shawn Chang, General Manager of the System Business Group at ASUS North America, who leads the team behind the AI PCs, commercial devices and gaming systems that millions of people across the US and Canada rely on.

This week on ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐€๐ˆ ๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ค๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ง:

Support for Windows 10 ended in October 2025, so a great many businesses are replacing machines right now. Which turns a routine purchase into a fork in the road, because the laptop you choose is the one your team runs AI on for years.

Inside the conversation:

๐Ÿ”ด Gartner projecting AI PCs at about 55% of the worldwide PC market this year, up from 31%

๐Ÿ”ด A Copilot class NPU handling 40 or more trillion operations per second on the machine itself

๐Ÿ”ด Forrester finding AI PCs complete routine tasks up to 30% faster

๐Ÿ”ด On device processing cutting breach response time by around 40% while keeping sensitive data off the cloud, with the catch that the endpoint itself now matters more

๐Ÿ”ด What genuinely deserves the money in a commercial machine, and what is spec sheet noise

Match the machine to the work. The right AI PC is an investment, not a box on a desk. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ
