During a unique occasion held at Microsoft campus, Microsoft unveiled a new type of Windows PCs created for AI known as Copilot+ PCs.

Copilot+ PCs are the fastest and most intelligent Windows PCs that have been created so far. Featuring advanced silicon with over 40 trillion operations per second and long-lasting battery life, Copilot+ PCs provide access to cutting-edge AI models, allowing users to accomplish tasks not possible on any other PC. Effortlessly locate and recall past activities on your computer with Recall, create and enhance AI pictures instantly on your device with Co Creators, and overcome language obstacles with Live Captions, interpreting audio from over 40 languages to English.

This collection of experiences will be available on a range of sleek, portable, and attractive devices from Microsoft Surface and their collaborators Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Samsung, with pre-orders starting now and products becoming available on June 18. Beginning at a price point of $999, Copilot + PCs provide exceptional worth.

This initial batch of Copilot+ PCs marks the start of something bigger. In the last year, there has been a rapid rate of advancement in AI in the cloud with Copilot enabling Microsoft to achieve things they never thought were achievable. Now starting a new phase focused on innovative AI features for the device. Microsoft have completely transformed every aspect of the PC, incorporating AI at the core, making it the biggest change to the Windows platform in years.

The quickest and most protected Windows computers ever created

Microsoft brought in a new system design that combines the strength of the CPU, GPU, and a new high-performance Neural Processing Unit (NPU). Empowered by the collaboration of large language models (LLMs) and small language models (SLMs) in Azure Cloud, Windows Copilot+ PCs can now reach an unprecedented level of performance. They have up to 20 times more strength and up to 100 times greater efficiency when carrying out AI tasks, providing top-notch AI acceleration. They exceed Apple’s MacBook Air 15” in sustained multithreaded performance by up to 58% and still provide all-day battery life.Microsoft.

Microsoft Windows Copilot+ PCs can provide an impressive 22 hours of local video playback or 15 hours of web browsing on a single charge, achieving up to 20% more battery life in local video playback compared to the MacBook Air 15″.

Windows is now offering the top application implementation on the quickest chip, beginning with Qualcomm. Microsoft currently provide a greater number of native Arm64 experiences than previously, such as our quickest version of Microsoft 365 applications like Teams, PowerPoint, Outlook, Word, Excel, OneDrive, and OneNote. Chrome, Spotify, Zoom, WhatsApp, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Blender, Affinity Suite, DaVinci Resolve, and other applications are now optimized for Arm architecture, providing improved performance. 

Slack will also be available for Arm later this year. In reality, the majority of app usage time is spent on apps with native Arm versions, accounting for 87% of total app minutes. Your apps will perform well on Prism, a new emulator, whether they are native or emulated.

Each Copilot+ PC is pre-secured upon purchase. The Microsoft Pluton Security processor is automatically on all Copilot+ PCs and Windows 11 has new features, updates, and defaults for user security. Additionally, they have included customized privacy settings to assist you in safeguarding what matters most to you.

Completely innovative, impactful AI encounters

Copilot+ PCs use advanced processors and various AI models, including Microsoft’s top-notch SLMs, to enable a range of new local experiences that can be run directly on the device. This eliminates old restrictions on factors such as delay, expenses and even confidentiality in order to enhance your productivity, innovation and communication efficiency.\

Recall right away

Microsoft goal was to address a common annoyance we face every day: locating items on our computer that we know we have previously seen. Today, we need to recall in which file folder it was saved, the website it was on, or sift through numerous emails to locate it.

Now, with Recall, you can retrieve almost everything you have seen or done on your computer as if you have a photographic memory. Copilot+ computers structure data in a way that mirrors how we categorize information, relying on the connections and associations specific to our own personal encounters. This allows you to recall information that you might have overlooked, making it easier to locate what you need promptly and instinctively based on the cues you can recall.

You have the ability to navigate through time to locate the information you require in your timeline on any app, website, file, or other platforms. Use screenray snapshots to guide you with suggested actions based on object recognition, allowing you to interact intuitively and make informed decisions. Return to your original place, either a particular email in Outlook or the correct chat in Teams.

Remember utilizes your individual semantic index, created and kept solely on your device. The snapshots belong to you and remain saved on your PC. You have the option to remove single snapshots, modify and delete specific time frames in Settings, or suspend at any moment directly from the icon in the System Tray on your Taskbar. You have the option to prevent apps and websites from being saved. With trusted privacy, you are constantly in charge.

Collaborate with AI technology for creating and editing images, integrated within Windows.

Nearly 10 billion images have been generated since Image Creator was launched, making it easier for people to bring their ideas to life by simply describing what they want to create using natural language. However, current cloud services might restrict the quantity of images you can generate, make you wait for the artwork to process, or raise privacy issues. Through the utilization of Neural Processing Units (NPUs) and robust local small language models, Microsoft is introducing unique new experiences to popular creative tools such as Paint and Photos.

Use Cocreator to create fresh images quickly by blending your ink strokes with text prompts. As you continue, the artwork also progresses, making it simpler for you to perfect, revise, and develop your ideas. Sophisticated diffusion-based algorithms prioritize top-notch results in the least amount of steps, giving the impression of co-creating with AI. Utilize the creativity slider to select artwork ranging from literal to expressive. After choosing your artwork, you can keep building on top of it to convey your ideas, no matter your level of creativity.

Elevate your photo editing and image creation skills to a higher level. Restyle Image allows you to transform your own photos using a unique blend of image creation and photo manipulation within the Photos app. Utilize a predetermined theme such as Cyberpunk or Claymation to alter the background, foreground, or the entire picture and generate a completely different image. Or kickstart your upcoming artistic endeavor and find creative ideas through Image Creator in Photos. Microsoft Windows Copilot+ PCs allow you to create countless images quickly and at no cost, giving you the option to adjust them as desired and store your preferred ones in collections.
