Everyone has AI Now
If you’re reading this, you’ve likely heard the whispers: “AI is taking over.” But fear not; its not Skynet-level yet. Truth be told, we’re nowhere near the point where AI has gained true self-automation, much less self-awareness and true decision making. That’s the realm of artificial general intelligence or AGI, a goal already being targeted but still in its infancy.
So with all the manufacturers today throwing terms like “AI PC” or “Copilot+ PC”… who’s really using these things? And would you be able to use it?
But let’s just jump right in and say that the marketing for AI is very pretentious. It envisions this world where everyone is making flight plans weekly or summarizing 96 business reports daily. Basically, when marketed this way, AI is treated literally as an assistant. And this is where all the latest laptops with NPUs are hinging their value at.
And this is sad because right now, the global workforce is fighting hard to survive paycheck to paycheck and getting by a day’s work is all about speed. If you’re tech savvy enough to understand how to prompt Copilot or ChatGPT, you’re savvy enough to sort thru your emails and report.
All this pandering to the every day person hides the true advantage that they can get which, funnily enough, are also features of most NPU-driven PCs, just not to the same performance level as a GPU-driven one.
And this is where have to talk about where AI stands today.
Where Does AI Stand Today?
AI sits on a foundation of misconceptions. Like I described above, this “butler-ification” of AI has dumbed down what the technology offers, and it’s actually becoming a challenge for the development community as this is the direction companies—besides NVIDIA—are pursuing.
If you’re reading this and you’re curious about AI and have seen the ads and videos, here’s a rundown of what your laptop can do, especially if it’s powered by a GeForce RTX graphics card.
The Apps!
- RTX AI-Powered Productivity: No More Cloud Nonsense
If you’ve used chatbots, you know the drill—ask a question, and wait for it to dig through the vast ocean of the internet. But why wait for a server in another hemisphere when you can have a locally-hosted assistant on your RTX laptop? That’s where ChatRTX comes into play. It’s your personal AI that processes queries using data from your own files—PDFs, docs, spreadsheets, you name it. No cloud shenanigans, just straight answers from your local data.
ChatRTX uses Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to pull relevant information quickly, which means faster results and a safer way to keep your data private. Plus, if you’re diving into research or coding, Msty takes it a step further by integrating external sources, making you the ultimate AI-powered multitasker. Let’s face it—Google doesn’t need to know about your to-do list or that embarrassing “research project.”
- Video Editing with RTX AI: Time to Level Up Your Edits
Professional video editors, meet your new best friend: NVIDIA’s AI-powered DaVinci Resolve Neural Engine. Ever spent hours rotoscoping? Yeah, you don’t have to do that anymore. Magic Mask identifies and tracks objects for you, while Optical Flow ensures buttery-smooth slow-motion effects without compromising quality.
And if that wasn’t enough, Topaz Labs’ Video AI suite can upscale, denoise, and enhance video quality, even if you’re working with potato-cam footage from 2004. That RTX AI engine crunches through complex tasks, making your workflow faster than ever. And this isn’t just high-end desktop tech—you can do this on a laptop, no sweat.
- Streaming Like a Pro: NVIDIA Broadcast
If you’re a streamer, you know the importance of a flawless setup. Background noise? Gone. Messy room? Replace it with any backdrop you want, no green screen needed. That’s the magic of NVIDIA Broadcast. Powered by RTX AI, it cleans up your audio, makes your webcam output look professional, and even keeps eye contact with your viewers while you sneak glances at your second monitor (don’t worry, we won’t tell).
For those looking to push the limits, AV1 encoding takes streaming efficiency up a notch by reducing bandwidth needs by up to 40%—that means high-quality streams even if your upload speed is stuck in 2015.
- Gaming: RTX DLSS, The OG performance enhancer
NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) remains the poster child for AI in gaming. If you’re not already using DLSS, well, you’re missing out on what’s essentially free performance.
By leveraging RTX’s AI Tensor Cores, DLSS upscales lower-resolution images into higher-quality ones without tanking your frame rates. The result? You’re gaming at 1440p with the smoothness of 1080p. Frames win games, people.
Beyond DLSS, RTX AI flexes its muscles with NVIDIA ACE, which helps developers bring digital characters and NPCs to life. We’re talking about AI-generated voice acting, dynamic conversations, and more—making your gaming experience even more immersive. Now, if only it could make you a better shot in Warzone.

- 3D Design and Rendering: Speed Meets Precision
If you’re into 3D modeling, animation, or rendering, RTX-powered laptops make light work of what used to be long waits. Tools like Blender and Unreal Engine get a massive speed boost thanks to NVIDIA OptiX and DLSS integration. With real-time ray tracing and AI-powered denoising, what you see is what you get—faster previews, faster rendering, and ultimately, faster time to completion. Whether you’re building virtual worlds or simply refining designs, RTX AI ensures your creative flow never stalls.
- The RTX AI Toolkit: For Developers, By Developers
For the coders and developers in the crowd, the RTX AI Toolkit offers a full suite of tools for training and deploying AI models directly on your laptop. Whether you’re building neural networks, training models, or deploying AI-enhanced applications, the toolkit is designed to make your development experience as smooth as possible. Think of it as your AI Swiss Army knife—equipped for any AI-based task you throw at it.
Closing Thoughts
Gone are the days when GPUs were just for gaming. NVIDIA RTX AI-powered laptops redefine what’s possible across industries—whether you’re a content creator, developer, streamer, or even just someone who juggles too many Chrome tabs. These laptops offer AI-enhanced experiences not, from speeding up workflows to enhancing creative projects, all the way to providing seamless gaming performance.
AI isn’t just coming; it’s already here. With NVIDIA RTX AI, your laptop becomes more than just a device, it becomes the tool that we humans utilize the go further—it’s an extension of our productivity, creativity, and entertainment.
