Overview:
The report provides a holistic analysis of Arm-based laptops and how Arm-based devices will share the PC market. Arm-based laptops continued to grow faster than the overall PC market in 2023, but we observed a slight slowdown in this momentum in the first half of H1 2024. However, with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X platform launch in Mid-2024, we believe Windows on Arm will ride on the AI PC wave and officially make it capture over one-third of the laptop market share by 2029. We also view that other chip suppliers (including partnerships between MediaTek and NVIDIA, Samsung, and UNISoC) may be able to enter the AI PC market later, as Arm-based laptops are being recognized for their upgraded performance and compatibility.
- Qualcomm fires game-changing first shot
- AI laptop is also a key driver for customers to consider an Arm-based laptop
- Other chip vendors may reconsider joining the PC party
- Arm-based laptops to capture over one-third of the laptop market by 2029
