Insight Works with Microsoft, Qualcomm as Early Provider of Next-Generation AI PCs
Insight will test enterprise generative AI applications of next-gen devices, including Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite NPU, the first to power a new era of Windows 11 with Copilot and AI built in
Insight, a Microsoft Solution partner holding a rare combination of designations for Security, Data & AI, and with a Managed XDR solution, is among a select few Microsoft partners participating in a technical adoption preview program for the next-gen Surface Laptop, also introduced Monday by Microsoft. During this pre-release proof of concept, performed across multiple business units, Insight will evaluate the device architecture by testing key features like native software performance, critical business app compatibility and deployment methodologies.
Insight also is testing Windows-based AI PCs powered by AMD and Intel. Early results have shown benefits such as improved battery life and CPU performance, lower memory utilization, and enhanced end-user multitasking for generative AI workloads, images, voice recognition and predictive text processing.
“Every client we work with today is eager to adapt to generative AI and wants to know how to embrace one of the most transformative technologies ever,” said
Insight is well-positioned to help clients consider practical investments in next-generation hardware and software to achieve their AI goals. Further, Insight collaborates with Microsoft to develop AI-powered solutions that automate complex tasks, enhance productivity and improve decision-making. It has been among the first to create services for Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Fabric, and its proprietary Insight Lens™ fast-start service helps clients accelerate the adoption of gen AI and data analytics applications across the enterprise.
“Snapdragon X Elite marks the beginning of a new chapter for Windows PCs, turning them into cutting-edge AI devices,” said
Many legacy devices purchased during the pandemic for the surge to remote and hybrid work are now outdated and cannot handle the computational power required for executing machine-learning algorithms and generative AI workloads. Additionally, the end of support for Windows 10 in
