How Well Does ONLYOFFICE Perform on AI Laptops During Heavy Multitasking and Document Collaboration?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking into using ONLYOFFICE on AI-powered laptops and wondering how well it performs under demanding conditions. Specifically, I’m interested in scenarios involving heavy multitasking—like running multiple apps simultaneously—and intensive document collaboration, such as real-time editing with several users.

Since AI laptops come with specialized hardware like neural processing units (NPUs), I’m curious whether these features improve the responsiveness and stability of ONLYOFFICE during such workloads.

  • Does the AI hardware help speed up document rendering or collaboration tasks?
  • Are there noticeable benefits in handling large files or multiple simultaneous edits?
  • How’s the overall multitasking experience when juggling ONLYOFFICE with other resource-heavy apps?
  • Any issues with lag, crashes, or syncing delays?

If anyone has tested ONLYOFFICE on AI laptops or can share benchmarks and real-world feedback, I’d really appreciate your insights!

Thanks in advance!

Hello @leoarthur

There should be no difference in performance, unless NPU is processing some heavy AI-related tasks. In such scenario, you’d experience performance spikes in general, depending on final NPU capabilities.

You have mentioned read-time editing, which raises a question – which product are you planning to use exactly? You see, Desktop Editors are directly designed to be used right on the device, i.e. for offline editing, but ONLYOFFICE Docs, which provides collaborative-editing, runs as a web-application.

Unfortunately, there is no official data sheet that’d demonstrate performance difference, however, comparing CPUs and NPUs directly, there is difference in computing power, so it must be taken is a scope of things too.
