The year 2024 - 2025 will witness the explosion of a series of new technology trends in the laptop market. The most prominent are the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and the trend of thin, light, high-performance designs to meet the increasingly demanding needs of users.
Thin and light reign
If in the past, thin and light laptops were often only associated with office machines, now this trend has spread to gaming and high-performance laptops. Users now not only require strong performance but also want to own a compact laptop that is easy to carry with them.

The market has seen the launch of many impressive laptop models, perfectly balancing performance and size. ASUS TUF Gaming A14 (2024) is an example. Weighing less than 1.5 kg, this laptop has very impressive performance with a 12-core, 24-thread AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, along with a discrete RTX 4060 GPU to meet all work and entertainment needs.
If you need something even thinner and lighter, the ASUS Vivobook S 14 (M5406) will not disappoint users with a weight of only 1.3 kg but still possesses super powerful performance with Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. Although there is no discrete GPU, this laptop still responds well to many games thanks to the integrated graphics AMD Radeon 890M.
Another extremely impressive gaming laptop model that can be mentioned is the MSI Stealth A16 AI +. Possessing super powerful performance with AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 combined with RTX 4070 GPU and 16-inch 16:10 screen, the machine weighs 2.1 kg and is less than 2 cm thick.
Prioritize user experience
In addition to thin and light design, users are also particularly interested in factors such as heat dissipation, battery life and laptop versatility. These factors were previously difficult to go together, a high-performance laptop is difficult to be thin, light, cool and have a long battery life.
However, at present, laptop manufacturers have made efforts to improve heat dissipation efficiency and enhance power by using energy-saving high-performance processors such as AMD Ryzen AI, advanced thermal materials, smart fan system design and optimized airflow.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is also fully utilized by manufacturers to help improve the user experience. Currently, AI on laptops is fully supported from hardware (processor) to software (Windows and popular software) to help save time and support effective work.
The versatility of laptops is of particular interest. Users increasingly need more from a laptop, such as doing office work, entertainment, and content creation, but still do not accept sacrificing size and weight.
AMD Ryzen AI 300 opens new laptop trend
Playing a key role in paving the way for a new laptop trend are the latest AMD Ryzen AI 300 processors. AMD's latest line of laptop processors offers many advantages such as super powerful performance and energy efficiency, while ensuring compatibility with millions of existing computer software.

AMD Ryzen AI 300 has up to 12 cores and 24 threads. |
The AMD Ryzen AI 300 features up to 12 cores, including 4 high-performance Zen 5 cores and 8 energy-efficient Zen 5c cores. Interestingly, both Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores support hyper-threading for a total of 24 threads.
Combined with 4nm manufacturing, the AMD Ryzen AI 300 processor balances performance and energy efficiency. In addition, this processor also has superior integrated graphics that can handle even AAA games at the right settings.

The AMD Ryzen AI 300 series of processors brings a host of advantages to laptops. |
AMD is also the pioneer manufacturer integrating AI processing cores (NPUs) into processors from 2023 with the Ryzen 7000 series. Through many upgrades and improvements, AMD Ryzen AI 300 is now one of the most powerful NPU processors on the market with a maximum power of up to 55 TOPS.
AMD Ryzen AI 300 processors have a very wide TDP range (15 - 54 W), supporting a maximum RAM capacity of up to 256 GB. Thanks to that, manufacturers can flexibly use this processor for both ultra-thin and light laptops and high-performance gaming lines.
Overall, the trend of thin, light, high-performance, AI-integrated laptops is expected to continue to grow strongly in the coming years. AMD Ryzen AI 300 (and its successors) is one of the important factors in that trend.
