FAQ
What is an AI ready device?
An AI ready device is a PC built with a dedicated neural processing unit (NPU) that handles AI tasks directly on the device. That means faster performance and greater privacy compared to cloud-based processing. Most AI ready devices support Microsoft Copilot and other AI-powered features built into Windows 11.
What is a Copilot+ PC?
Copilot+ PC is Microsoft's certification for devices that meet a minimum NPU performance threshold of 40 trillion operations per second (TOPS). These devices are optimized for AI features in Windows 11, including live captions, Cocreator in Paint and Recall. Snapdragon X, Intel Core Ultra and AMD Ryzen AI devices can all qualify.
What brands of AI PCs does CDW Canada carry?
CDW Canada carries AI-ready devices from Dell, HP and Lenovo across AMD Ryzen AI, Intel Core Ultra and Snapdragon X processor families. Our team can help you compare AI PC models based on your team's size, budget and specific use cases.
Can CDW Canada help with deploying AI devices across our organization?
Yes. CDW Canada provides full deployment support including pre-configuration, device imaging and MDM setup. Whether you're rolling out 10 devices or 10,000, we help manage the process so your IT team can focus on everything else.
Does CDW Canada support large-scale device refreshes?
CDW Canada works with enterprise and mid-market organizations on full device refresh cycles. We handle procurement, configuration, deployment and lifecycle management so you have a clear process from day one through end-of-life.
How do I choose the right AI PC for my team?
It depends on how your team works. Mobile workers and executives tend to get the most out of Snapdragon X devices for their battery life. Teams doing heavy computing or creative work are often better served by Intel Core Ultra or AMD Ryzen AI options. CDW Canada's team can assess your environment and point you in the right direction.
