Small businesses are changing the way they work. Instead of staying small in their thinking, many are now aiming higher and adopting tools once used only by large companies.
A new report from ASUS shows that 88 percent of small business owners in the United States believe that thinking big is key to future growth. Many of them say their biggest challenge now comes from large enterprises, not just other small businesses or new startups.


To keep up, SMBs are turning to smarter technology. Rather than adding more staff or costly systems, they are choosing AI laptops to improve daily work. These laptops help speed up tasks, support planning, and make decision making easier without adding extra pressure on teams.
Why AI laptops matter for growing businesses
AI laptops allow small businesses to run advanced tasks directly on their devices. This means faster performance, better security, and less dependence on cloud tools. For teams that work remotely or travel often, this makes work more stable and reliable.
Keith Lowe, Director of Product Management at ASUS, says this shift shows a clear change in how small businesses see success. He explains that AI laptops are no longer just premium tools. They are becoming a basic need for businesses that want long term growth and stability.


The report also highlights that SMBs are spending more on future focused areas such as planning, marketing, and technology. While cloud software remains useful, ASUS believes strong and capable devices are just as important to get the best results from AI.
To support this shift, ASUS offers solutions built for growing teams. The ASUS ExpertBook Ultra is designed to handle AI tasks, offer strong security, and support flexible work. With Windows 11 Pro and reliable performance, it helps teams stay productive whether they work from the office or on the move.
As small businesses continue to aim higher, ASUS remains focused on providing AI laptops that help them work smarter, grow faster, and compete with confidence.
The ASUS ExpertBook Ultra B9406 AI Laptops are expected to launch worldwide soon. Availability details will be shared by local ASUS representatives.
