research indicates that the AI-enabled personal computers (AI PCs) sector is set to rise at a compound annual growth rate of 64% between now and 2027 and make up around 60% of all PCs shipped that year. 

What Are “AI PCs”?
“AI PCs” are AI-enabled personal computers that come with chips capable of running large-language models and apps directly on the device, instead of the cloud, allowing for AI to be run locally on the computers themselves and being able to be used whenever and wherever – even without an internet connection.

What’s Unfolding
A major PC upgrade and a resultant surge in sales is about to begin with the launch of AI PCs – computers with Intel’s Core Ultra chips, which will create compelling opportunities in PC stocks. Below are 6 companies, constituents in the new  AI-Capable PC Stocks Index, that list their stocks on Canadian and/or American stock exchanges and will introduce such AI PCs to the marketplace in 2024.
