Omdia: AI PC shipment share to reach 60% by 2027, but only 9% of buyers purchase for AI features
Omdia predicts that the share of AI PC shipments will reach 60% by 2027, but only 9% of buyers actually place orders for AI features; most users' motivation for upgrading remains that their old machines have slowed down or broken down. What is driving the penetration rate up is mainly the natural replacement cycle and the cost pressure brought by cloud AI token-based billing. 78% of office users use AI multiple times a week, yet only 12% access it through company accounts. Memory costs as a share of the entire device bill of materials have risen from 15% to nearly 40%, becoming a hardware bottleneck for running large models locally.
