AI PCs’ Unmet Promise Dragging Down Adoption

Meanwhile, the road ahead for AI PCs may still be rocky. “With ongoing component shortages expected to drive up the cost of PCs throughout 2026, I don’t see demand for AI PCs improving,” said Kristen Hanich, director of research at Parks Associates, a market research and consulting company specializing in consumer technology products, in Dallas.

“Consumers are likely to hold onto their existing machines for longer and remain on Windows 10, buy less expensive replacements if they do decide to move to Windows 11, or move to operating systems that have lower hardware requirements and less or no integrated AI,” she told TechNewsWorld.
