Microsoft have just announced they’re releasing a new category of Windows PCs, designed and built with AI and Copilot in mind called… Copilot + PCs.

Microsoft have revealed that Copilot + PCs will be fastest, most intelligent Windows PC they’ve ever built, capable of 40+ TOPS (trillion operations per second!).

It will also come with an all-day battery life and access to the most cutting edge AI models available. All of this, Microsoft hopes, will let you do things that you can’t on any other PC.

What will a CoPilot+ PC be able to do you ask? What features will it come with…?

· With something called Recall, you’ll easily be able to find something you know you’ve seen on your PC somewhere, just by describing it.

· You’ll be able to generate and refine AI images in near real-time, directly on your Copilot+ PC using Cocreator.

· Live Captions will come as standard, bridging language gaps with translated captions from audio from over 40+ languages into English.

· Plus, lots, lots more…

Pre-ordering is already open, with live availability from June 18.

Copilot + PC’s (for the hardware fans out there) will all come on thin, light devices from Microsoft Surface, as well as Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung, with prices starting at around $999.

However, Microsoft have promised this will just be the first wave…

The speed of AI innovation over the last year has been phenomenal, with absolutely no sign of letting up.

The Copilot + PC is the first, but marks a significant change to the Windows platform that will shape the next few decades of home and work PCs.

Copilot + PCs will feature an entirely new system architecture to unite the power of the CPU, GPU and NPU (that last one is Neural Processing Unit btw). All connected via an LLM (Large Language Model) running in Azure Cloud, in concert with SLM’s (that’s Small Language Models), Copilot + PCs will be capable of a level of performance we’ve never seen before…

Microsoft have stated they’ll be 20x more powerful and up to 100x more efficient for running AI workloads… all with an all-day battery life!

What does that look like?

22 hours of local video playback or 15 hours of web browsing on a single charge.

The Copilot + PC will come with the very best implementation of apps on the fastest chip… starting with Qualcomm.

It’ll offer more native Arm64 experiences than ever before, including the fastest ever implementation of Microsoft 365 apps like Teams, PowerPoint, Outlook, Word, Excel, OneDrive and OneNote.

Chrome, Spotify, Zoom, WhatsApp, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Blender, Affinity Suite, DaVinci Resolve and many more will also now run natively on Arm to give you great performance with additional apps, like Slack, releasing later this year.

In fact, 87% of the total app minutes people spend in apps today have native Arm versions.

Perhaps the most exciting bit however, is that every Copilot + PC will come with a dedicated Copilot button on your keyboard, meaning no matter what you happen to be doing, AI help is never more than a key stroke away.

We’re sure a lot more will be coming out on these once they hit the sales floor, so stay tuned for more details…
