Why AI PCs Matter More Than You Think with Lenovo

from The CDW OCTOpod · host CDW UK Office of the CTO

This episode offers a grounded, jargon‑free look at how AI is delivering value today - not the slide‑deck theory, but the tangible benefits seen across real customers using Windows 11 Copilot and Copilot+ PCs. Listeners will hear two senior technologists unpack the difference between cloud and on‑device AI, the rise of small language models running locally, and why training, adoption, and persona‑based device strategy matter far more than chasing every new tool on the market. It’s a practical, candid conversation that cuts through the hype and explains how organisations can improve performance, strengthen security, extend device lifecycle, reduce compute costs, and build a long‑term AI investment strategy that genuinely moves the needle. Speakers: Tim Russell,  Chief Technologist, CDW Ashley Rolfe, Field CTO , Lenovo
