The IT Leader’s Guide to Deploying AI PCs
Thinking about deploying AI PCs? This guide gives you a framework to move forward with confidence.
AI PCs offer real capability gains — faster performance, on-device intelligence, and smarter applications at the endpoint. The organizations that capture the most value from this shift will not necessarily be the ones that move fastest — they will be the ones that plan most deliberately. That means a deployment strategy built around business objectives, user needs, and operational reality.
This guidebook was developed for CIOs, IT directors, and the teams responsible for planning, deploying, and managing large-scale device environments. It provides a structured, practical framework for working through five critical areas that determine whether an AI PC deployment delivers measurable return.

What’s Inside
Assess Your AI PC Readiness
Understand where your organization stands before committing to a rollout — across AI strategy, application requirements, infrastructure readiness, stakeholder alignment, and your ability to measure value after deployment.
Match Device Performance to Employee Roles
Build a role-based device tiering framework that aligns hardware capability to actual AI workload requirements — and learn how to phase rollout for maximum impact with minimum risk.
Model the Full Cost of Ownership
Move beyond acquisition cost. Understand the full cost picture — deployment, licensing, support, and refresh — alongside the productivity value that most budget models leave out entirely.
Build Deployment Logistics Into the Plan Early
From imaging and provisioning to remote distribution, configuration standardization, and rollout sequencing — the logistics decisions that determine whether deployment runs smoothly or stalls.
Build Endpoint Governance Into the Deployment Plan
Establish the controls, policies, and lifecycle visibility needed to keep AI PCs manageable, auditable, and aligned with organizational standards from deployment through retirement.
