AI PC adoption in most firms surges 12% above regional average

Five in 10 have deployed AI in their personal computers.

More than five in 10 (54%) Singaporean firms have already deployed artificial intelligence personal computers (AI PCs)—12% higher than the regional average, according to a Dell Technologies report.

This, the report notes, has driven Southeast Asia’s AI PC adoption, along with the adoption of new technologies without legacy constraints, favourable market conditions, and government initiatives.

Across the region, 92% reported higher productivity amongst users, whilst 52% expect the share of workstations in their fleet to grow over the next five years.

Organisations in the region also reported workstation use for data preparation (66%), model fine-tuning (62%), and foundational model training (55%).

On a broader perspective, Asia Pacific (APAC) organisations with over 50% AI PCs in their fleet report saving 2.17 hours per employee per day, reflecting a 30% productivity increase

Moreover, four out of five APAC firms expect AI PCs to drive the adoption of agentic AI, agreeing that they enhance control and security for these applications.

Further, 84% of organisations expect AI PCs to increase employee productivity, whilst 78% cite security benefits and 77% highlight cost advantages of running AI locally.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
