Microsoft Copilot+ PCs: A Leap into the Future of AI-Driven Computing
With AI being the buzzword, how can the hardware OEMs be left behind?
Microsoft just introduced the world to a new category of Windows PCs designed for AI – Microsoft Copilot+ PCs -and that’s what this week’s #KnowITAll post covers.

Microsoft Copilot+ PCs are the fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever built. With powerful new NPU silicon capable of an incredible 40+ TOPS (trillion operations per second), all-day battery life, and access to the most advanced AI models, Microsoft Copilot+ PCs will enable you to do things you can’t on any other PC.
What Makes Microsoft Copilot+ PCs Stand Out?
New Snapdragon X Series ARM Processor
These new PCs will be powered by the all-new Snapdragon X series ARM Processor. That’s right. No Intel or AMD anymore (as of now). This shift signifies a bold move towards ARM architecture, offering enhanced efficiency and performance tailored for AI tasks.
Turbocharged Neural Processing Unit (NPU)
Along with the CPU and GPU, Microsoft Copilot+ PCs are a new class of Windows 11 PCs powered by a turbocharged neural processing unit (NPU)—a specialized computer chip for AI-intensive processes like real-time translations and image generation—that can perform more than 40 trillion operations per second (TOPS).

Dedicated “Co-Pilot” Key
There will be a dedicated “Co-Pilot” key on the keyboard, just like the Windows Key. This key gives you direct access to Copilot, where you can ask questions, generate images, analyze Excel data, or summarize PDF documents. It’s a game-changer for productivity and creativity.
Co-Creator Feature
The Paint app gets a significant boost—it can now generate images based on your paintings. This feature, dubbed “Co-Creator,” leverages AI to transform your artistic sketches into fully realized images, enhancing the creative potential of every user.

Live Caption
Perfect for frequent online meetings, Live Caption translates spoken language to English in real time. It works across various apps, including Teams, Zoom, Meet, and Webex. Even videos in native languages get live translation, making communication seamless and inclusive.
Microsoft Recall
One of the most concerning features that has already raised hundreds of eyebrows amongst tech reviewers is Microsoft Recall. This feature, which we will cover in detail tomorrow, is designed to keep track of all your screen activities. While it promises enhanced productivity, it also brings significant privacy concerns.
Availability and Pricing
These experiences come to life on a set of thin, light, and beautiful devices from Microsoft Surface and other OEM partners like ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer, and Samsung. Pre-orders begin today, with availability starting on June 18. Prices start at $999, although this is an estimated retail price, and actual prices may vary.

Conclusion:
Microsoft Copilot+ PCs represent a monumental leap forward in AI-driven computing. With their advanced NPU capabilities, dedicated Co-Pilot key, and innovative features like Co-Creator and Live Caption, these PCs are set to redefine productivity and creativity in the digital age. However, the inclusion of the Recall feature serves as a reminder that with great power comes great responsibility, and the balance between innovation and privacy must be carefully managed.
