Last week, Intel held the 2023 Intel new product launch conference, with the theme of "AI is everywhere, Chuangxin is everywhere", during which the Intel Core Ultra processor released has attracted the attention of many people, Intel announced that it will launch more than 230 models with mainstream OEM partners, opening a new era of AI PC, which has triggered many netizens to discuss for a while, and it is inevitable that people can't help but ask: Do you really need to consider AI when buying a notebook in the future?
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts, and a large number of facts have proved that the popularization of AI in all walks of life is indeed the general trend of the future, which is not only a bargaining chip for competition between industry companies, but also a tool for us ordinary people to improve work efficiency. From the perspective of an ordinary worker, it is often easier to write reports and do analysis to get promoted and raised, and AI's Wenshengwen function has undoubtedly helped a lot, like the popular short**, live broadcast, games, and e-commerce are actually embracing AI, trying their best to get on the AI train, as practitioners, how can we stay out of it?
Because AI is the major trend of future development, the PC platform will also adapt to AI technology as a highlight of the iteration, such as this year's Core Ultra processor, which integrates exclusive AI acceleration functions in the architecture of CPU, GPU and NPU, making it the most powerful and energy-efficient client processor in Intel's history. In addition to the chip is very "AI", Intel knows that the software is strong, and the AI can be really strong, so it has also united more than 100 independent software vendors to provide more than 300 AI acceleration functions, providing an ecological foundation for AI PCs.
In this way, the slogan of "no AI, no PC" is imperative, and there will be more than 230 AI PCs equipped with Core Ultra processors to meet us, and there are already first products on the market, that is, ASUS Zenbook 14 2024, priced at 6599 yuan, equipped with a new Core Ultra7, and then you might as well take it as an example to see what new experiences **AI ultra-thin and light notebooks have.
Zenbook 14 2024 is equipped with Core Ultra7 for the first time, with 3 major AI engines, through the efficient collaboration of CPU + GPU + NPU, a large language model with up to 20 billion parameters, can also run on ordinary personal computers, and can quickly generate various AIGC content locally and offline. For example, you can ask it to write a self-introduction, or you can make a year-end report, such as speeches, Moments of Friends copywriting, event planning and other topics can be at your fingertips, and if you encounter a problem you don't understand, you can directly ask AI, and the answers will be detailed and comprehensive, and you no longer need to toss and find half a day on the Internet, which is a good way to save time and effort for practitioners such as text office, copywriting planning, programming development, data analysis, etc.
In addition, with the blessing of AI features, Zenbook 14 2024 is also very fast in terms of Wensheng diagrams, Tusheng diagrams, etc., and can use Stable Diffusion to easily generate a variety of **, bringing inspiration to creatives from all walks of life such as graphics, architecture, games, film and television, animation, etc. At the same time, with the doubling of the core graphics performance, the retouching and editing efficiency of Zenbook 14 2024 has been greatly improved, such as LR supports AI** editing, PR supports AI** processing, silhouettes can also be cut out by AI, editing and retouching has become more convenient, and you only need one hour to finish the three-hour work of others, which makes it naturally easier and more comfortable to do the work.
Not only is it fast, Zenbook 14 2024 is also quite long-lasting. The Core Ultra 7 is powered by Intel 4 process technology and 3D high-performance hybrid architecture, the addition of the NPU also reduces the power consumption of the AI experience, and the built-in 75WH battery is large, which can bring about 18 hours of long-lasting battery life, so users can experience AI with confidence, and can use it on the go, without worrying about fast power consumption.
As the first AI ultra-thin and light product, Zenbook 14 2024 also has highlights elsewhere. For example, 32GB of ultra-large memory, with a frequency of up to 7467MHz, further unlocks the performance limit of Core Ultra, and 1TB PCIe 40 solid-state, this specification is already high for a 6K price point thin and light laptop, and there are dual thunderbolt 4 interfaces, which can meet the connection of various peripherals. In terms of screens, it is given 28K 120Hz True HDR ASUS good screen, covering 100%P3 wide color gamut, E<1,1000000:1High contrast,600nits peak brightness,The experience of chasing dramas and watching movies is very cool,Graphic design、Professional work such as post-production can also be controlled。
Seeing this, you may think that Zenbook 14 2024 has such a comprehensive experience, and the weight must be a little "excessive", but in fact it is only 119kg, the thickness is only 139mm, placed in the same price range of 14 inches, it can be called the ultimate thinness.
Personally, I think that AI ultra-thin laptops like Zenbook 14 2024 are the first choice for replacing laptops at the end of the year or next year, AI's blessing saves time and effort, takes into account high performance and long battery life, and also continues Zenyao's consistent thin and light body, excellent workmanship, ASUS good screen and other fine traditions, worthy of the name of "AI PC debut". At present, it has been sold, the first 6599 yuan, the praise is as high as 98%, the reputation is quite good, interested friends are worth paying attention to.
