Your Business, AI and the Cloud 

lenovo, surface, asus and MSI AI logos

According to recent reports, 91% of IT leaders are reporting friction with their cloud AI providers. Unpredictable “inference fees” (paying every single time your team submits a prompt) and compliance issues are among the biggest headaches.

The good news is we now have a viable alternative.

Many of today’s highly capable AI models can run directly on the laptops and desktops your team uses every day. These AI models are:

  • Completely offline
  • Lightning-fast
  • And entirely behind your firewall

Here, we lay out how the AI landscape has rapidly shifted – with practical advice on kitting out your business with the hardware you need to reduce or even end costly cloud bills.

Powerful on-device AI starts from just £31.93 per month – no data centre required!

What is cloud AI? 

In brief: By cloud AI, we mean corporate systems and background automations that rent processing power from distant data centres. Every task sends your company data over the internet to a third-party server to do the heavy lifting.  

How it differs from a web prompt: Opening a browser to ask ChatGPT or Gemini a quick question uses consumer-facing cloud AI tools. While these also run in the cloud, they are typically standalone applications.  

The on-device difference: True local AI (also known as on-device AI) completely cuts out the internet trip, running the actual intelligence models on your office hardware.

1. The 10-billion parameter rule 

The biggest myth in business tech is that you need a massive, trillion-parameter cloud model (translation: ultra-powerful, ultra-expensive AI) for standard office work. 

In reality, a recent Omdia report found that 57% of the AI models businesses typically run are lightweight, sub-10-billion parameter models. These don’t need a data centre; they need just 12GB of local memory. Many laptops today can handle that

2. Apple’s AI masterstroke 

The first wave of professional local AI relied on NVIDIA’s traditional, power-hungry PC graphics cards. It introduced businesses to a highly attractive, fixed-cost model: buy or lease the machine, and your local AI processing is essentially free.  

But these devices had a hidden traffic jam: data had to shuffle slowly back and forth between separate memory pools, slowing everything down.

Apple got rid of that traffic jam entirely. Their chips share one big pool of memory instead of splitting it into separate pockets – so nothing has to wait in line.

The result: a 128GB MacBook Pro can run seriously powerful AI models (the kind that used to need a data centre) completely offline, right at your desk.

3. NVIDIA responds – and AMD enters the ring 

NVIDIA went all-in on power, launching RTX Spark to bring that same kind of on-device AI muscle to everyday Windows laptops.  

At the same time, AMD used its Halo platform to deliver powerful local AI performance without the extreme heat, power bills or high costs of a dedicated graphics card setup. AMD setups are generally more affordable too – making them the ultimate setup for department-wide rollouts.

The golden age of on-device AI 

You no longer have to pick a side between a sleek macOS setup or the open flexibility of Windows to get absolute privacy and predictable costs.  

The best options right now mean matching the right tool to the job: 

  • The memory powerhouse: Apple’s MacBook Pro and Mac Studio dominate for raw internal memory capacity, giving you the headroom to run serious local AI models entirely in memory – no data centre required. 
  • The specialist workhorses: High-end Windows desktops packed with NVIDIA graphics cards offer unmatched performance and the industry-standard software support that technical creators demand.  
  • The fleet enablers: Ultra-portable laptops powered by AMD Halo chips give you the perfect mix of local AI speed, low power consumption and all-day battery life – with costs as much as 20% cheaper than competing options.

Play it safe and go hybrid 

While many tasks can now run entirely on-device, having cloud “waiting in the wings” makes sense for all kinds of business.  

Many operating systems are now smart enough to distribute workloads automatically. Your local hardware handles day-to-day work for free – and seamlessly taps into secure cloud servers only when you need the extra muscle for complex projects.  

Choose the right hybrid setup with HardSoft.

3 ways to configure a cost-optimised fleet for different teams:  

The agile team (up to 10 people) 

The profile: Creative, marketing or consulting businesses handling everyday text drafting, meeting summaries and basic image workflows.

The hardware: MacBook Air with 24GB of memory.

Why it works: 24GB provides ample headroom to host highly optimised sub-15B models locally while keeping standard apps running flawlessly.

Cloud reliance: Rare. Daily productivity fits inside the laptop’s local memory.

MacBook Air
MacBook Pro

The tech-heavy team (up to 20 people) 

The profile: Software development houses, data analysts or teams handling highly sensitive client databases.

The hardware: MacBook Pro M4 Max with 128GB of unified memory.

Why it works: 128GB shatters standard PC graphics bottlenecks, allowing developers to load advanced 70B and 122B parameter models natively into memory for near-instant code reviews.

Cloud reliance: Optional. Handles the vast majority of core engineering pipelines privately at the desk. 

The professional services firm (up to 50 people) 

The profile: Legal, financial or recruitment firms where data privacy is paramount and deep client archives must be instantly searchable 24/7.

The hardware: Standard staff laptops supported by a fleet of Mac minis acting as “AI agent hubs”.

Why it works: The Mac mini is a silent, low-power background worker. In real-world enterprise rollouts, Apple reports that one customer cut three-year total cost of ownership by over half and energy consumption by 78% after migrating from cloud-based AI to local Mac minis.

Cloud reliance: Yes. Local hubs handle daily sorting securely behind your firewall, tapping the cloud only for heavy, cross-archive analysis.

AI FAQs

Is running AI locally actually as good as using the cloud? For what your team does day-to-day, yes. In fact, running open-weight models (like Phi-4 or Llama 3.1 8B) locally is often much faster because you bypass internet delays and busy cloud servers.  

What about data security? This is the single biggest win for small firms. When you run AI right on your own devices, data never leaves the machine. What stays on your computer cannot be leaked.  

Isn’t the upfront cost of AI hardware too high for a small budget? It is a large upfront CapEx if you buy out of the box. That is why many businesses choose to lease.

HardSoft turns unpredictable cloud fees into a single, predictable monthly payment. We handle the financing in-house, preconfigure your AI-ready fleet to your exact specs – and back it with certified support and full lifecycle logistics. 

Samsung Galaxy Book6 Compared for Business: Book6 vs Book6 Pro vs Book6 Ultra

Samsung Galaxy Book6 Compared for Business: Book6 vs Book6 Pro vs Book6 Ultra

2 people in an office using galaxy book6


Quick Summary

Samsung has become one of the most interesting Windows laptop brands for business, and the Galaxy Book6 range highlights why. 

All three models share a processor generation but differ in screen, ports and headroom: the standard Book6 pairs an IPS panel with 16GB of RAM you can’t upgrade after purchase, the Pro doubles that ceiling to 32GB and adds Wi-Fi 7 and single-cable Thunderbolt 4 docking, and the Ultra adds an RTX GPU for teams requiring dedicated graphics (video, design and 3D work.)

Our pick: the Samsung Galaxy Book6 Pro 14” is the right device for most business teams. Enjoy a 1,000-nit AMOLED touchscreen and 30-hour battery at 1.24kg — leasing from £10.53 per week with a free dock!


What All Three Galaxy Book6 Models Share

Every Galaxy Book6 runs Intel’s latest Core Ultra (Series 3) “Panther Lake” silicon, with an NPU fast enough to qualify all three as Copilot+ PCs — 49 TOPS on the Book6, 50 TOPS on the Pro and Ultra.

On-device AI features run locally rather than sending your data off to the cloud. If your team handles sensitive information, that’s reassuring.

They also share the same dependable basics: a solid aluminium body, a comfortable full-size keyboard, a sharp webcam for video calls, and a fingerprint reader to log in. Plus, multi control lets you work across your phone and tablet from one keyboard.

Samsung Galaxy Book6: The Everyday Workhorse

Best for: admin, reception, field staff — anyone living in Outlook, Teams and a browser.

Processor: Intel Core Ultra 5 325 or Ultra 7 355, with 16GB RAM, a 512GB or 1TB SSD and Intel integrated graphics.

Display: a 14″ or 16″ anti-glare display that’s bright and easy on the eyes in an office. It’s a standard LCD, though — not the richer, more colourful AMOLED screen you get on the Pro.

Ports: 2× USB-C, 2× USB-A, HDMI, microSD, combo jack, Kensington slot and Gigabit Ethernet — one up on the Pro. That RJ45 is worth having for fixed-desk staff or sites with patchy Wi-Fi. Wireless is Wi-Fi 6E, not Wi-Fi 7.

Battery: 24 hours on Samsung’s video playback test. At 14.9mm and 1.74kg, it’s the chunkiest of the three despite being the least powerful.

Trackpad: a mechanical clickpad rather than the Pro’s haptic pad — stiffer near the top edge, less consistent across the surface.

The catch: 16GB is the ceiling, and memory can’t be upgraded after purchase.

Lease from £11.04 per week for the 14″ or £11.80 per week for the 16″.


Samsung Galaxy Book6 Pro: The Business Pick

Best for: almost everyone. Managers, consultants, developers, sales, finance, hybrid workers.

Processor: Intel Core Ultra 7 356H or Ultra X7 358H with Intel Arc graphics, 16GB or 32GB LPDDR5X RAM and a fast PCIe SSD. Samsung quotes 60% more CPU and 70% more GPU power than the last generation — enough for large datasets, heavy multitasking and light video work, without paying workstation prices.

Display: A 14″ or 16″ AMOLED touchscreen — the same bright, punchy screen technology Samsung puts in its top phones. It’s sharp, colourful and glare-resistant, so it stays clear and readable on a train, in a sunny meeting room, or out at a client’s office. 

Battery: 30 hours on Samsung’s video playback test. It’s light too — the 16″ is 11.9mm and 1.59kg, the 14″ 11.6mm and 1.24kg.

Cooling & trackpad: it runs cooler and quieter than the standard Book6, so the fan stays quiet on calls, and the trackpad is the smooth, pressure-sensitive kind that clicks evenly wherever you press.

Ports: 2× Thunderbolt 4, USB-A 3.2, HDMI 2.1, a card reader and a combo jack, plus Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. HDMI 2.1 drives 8K at 60Hz or 5K at 120Hz, so one cable handles most meeting-room displays without an adapter — and Thunderbolt 4 carries displays, data, network and power to a dock over a single connection.

samsung galaxy book pro 14 and 16


Samsung Galaxy Book6 Pro: 14-inch or 16-inch?

Both share the same processors, RAM options, AMOLED resolution and ports — so the choice is about how your people work.

Pick the 14″ for anyone on the move. At 1.24kg it’s the lighter travel machine, its battery stretches furthest, it’s cheaper to lease — and it comes with the free i-tec dock, so it turns into a full desk setup the moment it’s back at base.

Pick the 16″ for desk-based staff who value screen space. The larger panel suits spreadsheets, side-by-side windows and long document work, and it steps up to quad speakers (the 14″ runs dual) for clearer conference calls.

Lease from £10.53 per week for the 14″ or £14.56 per week for the 16″.


Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra: The Specialist

Best for: video editors, 3D and CAD users, data scientists, developers compiling large builds.

Processor & graphics: everything the Pro has, plus a powerful dedicated NVIDIA graphics card — the sort video editors and 3D designers rely on — with 32GB of memory and a 1TB drive as standard, on a 16″ AMOLED screen.

Cooling & charging: beefed-up cooling to handle the extra power, better speakers, and the fastest charging in the range — around 65% in half an hour. 

Ports: the same as the Pro, with one addition — a full-size SD card slot that photographers and videographers will use every day. 

Weight: still slim, but heavier at 1.89kg because of that RTX GPU. An Intel Arc variant drops that to 1.79kg.

The catch: unless your team genuinely edits 4K video, renders 3D or runs heavy AI work, that expensive graphics card mostly sits there unused. Ideal for a handful of specialists; overkill for a whole team.

Why Lease Rather Than Buy?

Buying a fleet of Galaxy Book6 Pros outright is a five-figure capital hit before you’ve even configured a single device. Leasing turns that into a predictable weekly operating cost with no upfront outlay, and lease payments are typically fully tax-deductible — unlike a purchase, where you’re working through capital allowances.   

It also solves the awkward question of what to do with ageing kit. Buy it, and it’s yours to deal with for years. Lease it, and there’s a clean way out at the end: 

  • Flexi-Lease — our most popular option. Switch devices, cancel, or own the kit for £1 at the end of term (from just 12 months). 
  • Pure Rental — around 30% cheaper. Switch, cancel, or return and refresh onto new hardware at expiry (after 3 or 5 years). 
  • Devices for Teams — our most flexible option for 50+ users, ideal for fast-growing teams with headcount changes.

Every lease includes lifetime Silver Support with a loan device if one fails, plus Gold and Platinum plans for faster response. Add SafeGuard Protection, Microsoft 365 Business Premium from £5.55/week, Shepherd MDM, Boomerang for device lifecycle management, or carbon offsetting from £1.15/week — and earn Rewards points throughout.


The Verdict

For most UK businesses, the Galaxy Book6 Pro is the right device. Professional performance, an outstanding display, Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 7, all-day battery and Windows 11 Pro security — in a machine light enough that people can work on the go. With the free dock on the 14″, it’s a complete desk-and-travel setup for £10.53 a week per user.

Quick Summary

If you’re equipping a team, the laptop is only half the setup. The other half is everything that turns it into a proper workstation and a good docking station does that with one cable

Your people plug in once, and their laptop charges, their monitors wake up, and every peripheral reconnects exactly where they left it. No adapters, no tangle, no lost minutes at the start of the day.

For hybrid teams, hot-desking offices and laptop-first businesses, it’s one of the highest-impact upgrades you can roll out. We lease and manage IT for UK businesses every day, so we’ve seen what works on real desks.

1. Connection type: USB-C vs Thunderbolt

This is the single most important factor, because it dictates how much your dock can actually do.

  • USB-C docks are the everyday workhorses. They’re affordable, widely compatible and more than enough for most office roles — email, documents, video calls, spreadsheets and dual monitors.
  • Thunderbolt docks (currently Thunderbolt 5) sit at the top end. They offer dramatically higher bandwidth, which matters when you’re driving multiple high-resolution displays and moving large files at speed — think creative, engineering, data and video work.

A quick check: your laptop needs to support the same standard to get the full benefit. A Thunderbolt 5 dock is brilliant on a Thunderbolt-equipped MacBook Pro, but plug it into a basic USB-C laptop and you won’t unlock its top-tier performance. 

If you’re not sure what your devices support, that’s exactly the kind of thing our team will check for you before you order.

2. Power delivery (will it charge the laptop?)

Power Delivery, measured in watts (W), is how much charge the dock pushes back into your laptop through that single cable. Get this wrong and your laptop slowly drains even while it’s “plugged in”.

  • 65–100W comfortably covers most ultrabooks, business laptops and MacBook Air-class machines.
  • 140W is what you want for powerful, high-spec laptops and larger MacBook Pro models that draw more under load.

As a rule of thumb: match or exceed your laptop’s own charger wattage and you’ll be fine.

3. Displays and video outputs

Decide how many external monitors each person needs, and at what resolution, then check two things: the number of video ports and the type (HDMI, DisplayPort or Thunderbolt).

  • One or two screens for general office work → a dual-display dock is plenty.
  • Three screens for finance, trading, design, dev or operations → look for a triple-display dock.

Also confirm the dock supports the resolution you need (4K is the common business standard) across all the screens at once, not just one.

4. Ports and peripherals

Count what actually lives on the desk: keyboard, mouse, webcam, headset, phone charger, USB stick, SD card reader, external drive. Then make sure the dock has enough of the right ports — and ideally a couple to spare. A dock that runs out of ports on day one just creates a new pile of adapters, which rather defeats the point.

5. Wired networking and security

Most business-grade docks include a Gigabit Ethernet port. For office desks this is a genuine advantage: a wired connection is faster, more stable and more secure than Wi-Fi, which matters for video calls, large transfers and security-conscious environments. Every dock in our range includes Ethernet.

6. Compatibility — Mac, Windows, or both

Mixed device fleets are the norm now, so it pays to think about compatibility across your whole team. Some docks are happiest on Windows, some are tuned for high-spec Macs, and several are genuinely universal. If you run a blended Mac-and-Windows office, lean toward the universal options so any laptop can use any desk.

Not sure how to match these to your laptops? That’s the bit we’re here for. Tell us what your team uses and we’ll point you to the right dock — no guesswork required. Get in touch.

Here are the docks we’d happily put on any business’s desks, from a tidy entry-level setup right up to a high-end creative workstation.
