I know what you’re thinking, how can a gaming laptop be termed as an AI laptop for creators? Let me convince you by introducing you to Ryzen 9 7940HS, it has 8-cores, 16-threads, and most importantly, a dedicated NPU which supports AI demanding workloads like Microsoft Windows Studio Effects. In case you want more powerful AI-capable hardware then don’t worry because the laptop’s GPU is an Nvidia RTX 4070, which also supports Nvidia’s new “Chat with RTX” AI-powered feature. In short, it allows you to build a custom LLM, which is pretty handy. On top of that the laptop has a highly colour accurate display as well, which is a prerequisite for creative tasks. So overall, the HP Omen 16 is a powerful AI-powered laptop which you can easily handle all your creative needs.

Sometimes creativity requires a new form factor. Keeping that in mind, meet the ASUS ROG Flow X13, a high-performance AI laptop for designers. It too features the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS processor, so a combination of 8-performance cores, 16-threads, and an NPU will give you great performance in all areas, including AI-dedicated workloads. This makes it particularly adept for designers who leverage AI tools for enhancing creativity and efficiency. On top of that, the laptop has an RTX 4050 GPU, which can also handle AI-related tasks seamlessly. But the main reason to get this laptop is its 2-in-1 form factor. The QHD+ display supports touch input, and the laptop’s hinge can rotate 360-degree, thus allowing you to draw, paint, and design with ease, making it a versatile tool for any designer looking to harness the power of AI in their workflow.

AI-powered laptops need not be too expensive and the AUS TUF A16 AMD Advantage Edition proves the same. I know the name is a bit of a mouthful but the laptop also has a long list of features including AI-related ones. Starting off with the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS, it is the octa-core chip which makes the laptop AI-powered. The chip is paired with a powerful AMD Radeon RX 7600S GPU. Now, the AMD dGPU won’t give you support tools like Chat With RTX. But in combination with the Ryen 9 7940HS, it will provide you 5-10% better FPS in all games. On top of that, this laptop will have support for FSR 3, enabling which further enhances in-game performance. Moreover, TensorFlow-DirectML, which enhances both training and inference phases.

Another HP Omen 16 is on this list and for a good reason. It is similar in terms of design and thermal performance to the one I mentioned above, making it an ideal AI-integrated laptop for photographers. On top of that, this HP Omen 16 is more affordable. Obviously, it boasts relatively less impressive specs in comparison. For instance, instead of an AMD Ryzen 9, it features a Ryzen 7, and instead of an RTX 4070, this AI-powered HP Omen 16 gets an RTX 4060. So expect the same capabilities but relatively less performance. However, for photographers, the integration of AI enhances photo editing and organizing workflows, making it a compelling choice. The good thing is you get the same colour-accurate 16.1-inch display, essential for photo editing where accurate color representation is critical.

Another really affordable AI-powered laptop on this list is the Lenovo LOQ 15.6, making it an excellent choice for AI-powered laptops for multimedia editing. For just Rs 99,990, Lenovo is offering an AI-powered laptop that has an AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS CPU, an RTX 4060 with 8GB GDDR6 VRAM. The inclusion of these components ensures that the laptop can handle demanding multimedia editing tasks, with AI enhancements to streamline workflows in video editing, graphic design, and more. The laptop also gets 16GB DDR5 RAM along with 512GB SSD. Although the Ryzen APU has a dedicated AI-chip, Lenovo has installed an additional AI Engine chip which dynamically tunes the TDP, and optimises network bandwidth for better performance. This makes it an ideal choice for multimedia professionals looking for a high-performance, AI-enhanced editing experience without breaking the bank. Get this AI-powered laptop if your budget is under Rs 1 lakh.

Not everyone wants a big, bulky gaming laptop for their creative workloads. That’s why the HP Pavilion Plus 14 exists. Featuring an AMD Ryzen 7 7840U APU, the 14-inch AI-powered laptop is perfectly portable and capable. It also gets 16GB RAM, just like many other laptops, but gets a much larger 1TB SSD storage. The laptop is great for creative AI workload, partly because of the Ryzen 7 chip and also because of the 14-inch 2.8K OLED display with 500nits of screen brightness, 100% DCI-P3 colour space and upto 120Hz Variable Refresh Rate.

If premiumness, build quality and battery life are what you look for in a good AI-powered laptop then HP Spectre x360 14 has you covered. It is a versatile 2-in-1 laptop powered by Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU. The laptop also comes with a touch-screen pen allowing you to easily navigate the touchscreen. Not unlike the AI-powered Ryzen chips, the Intel Core Ultra 7 also features a dedicated NPU along with low-powered efficiency cores. A combination of these two result in amazing efficiency and as a result, this laptop has a battery life of around 13 hours. Moreover, the laptop comes with a 360-degree hinge and a touch enabled, 2.8K, 14-inch OLED display, which is highly colour accurate as well.

Although the new Zenbook series AI-laptops feature up to a 2.8K OLED display, the variant I have listed has an FHD+ resolution. The quality of the display is still very good with 600nits of maximum HDR brightness and VESA Certified True Black 600 certification.
