Abstract

The rapid technological evolution has driven the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) directly into hardware, establishing it as a competitive advantage in the gaming notebook market. This study aimed to investigate the profile and behavior of ASUS Gaming notebook users, a multinational brand known for manufacturing high-performance hardware and components, including its gaming lines, regarding the integration of AI-based technologies (the "AI PCs"). The research systematically analyzed the motivations and objective barriers to the adoption of this technology, addressing the question: How do different factors (demographic and behavioral) influence the interest and willingness to invest in ASUS’s gaming notebook segment? A mixed-methods approach, quantitative and qualitative, was employed, utilizing a questionnaire applied to 80 respondents. Results indicated that 46.25% of participants showed a willingness to invest in AI products, with a significant positive correlation between the frequency of notebook use for gaming and interest in AI features (r = 0.45). Qualitative analyses revealed high expectations for personalization, performance optimization, and inclusion, but also highlighted critical concerns regarding data privacy, security, and a lack of knowledge about the practical functioning of AI. The study contributes by providing strategic guidelines for ASUS, such as the need for educational campaigns and product development aligned with users’ trust and performance needs.
