New PCs worth buying before the free TV
If you haven’t been paying attention to the tech industry over the last few days, you may be confused. What is a Copilot+ Windows PC? Why is there such a huge push behind them by Microsoft and partners? Why should I care? Well, we have a detailed FAQ on Copilot+ Windows PC to shed light on a lot of those questions, and we have an in-depth editorial discussing the “great reset” currently happening with Windows PC. Of course, you can also tune into your Microsoft Surface and AI event live blog for a moment-to-moment rundown of all the biggest news recently.
The simple recap is this: Qualcomm has developed a new generation of ARM chipsets, dubbed the Snapdragon X series, which completely change the game for Windows on ARM PCs. These chips are incredibly powerful and efficient, able to outperform Intel Core Ultra CPUs while sipping considerably less power. They also boast the most powerful neural processing units (NPU) you can get in a Windows PC, enabling brand-new AI experiences previously not possible.
That’s where Microsoft comes in. The tech behemoth has rebuilt Windows 11 from the ground up with AI in mind, and created a new Windows platform built around Copilot that only works (for now) with Qualcomm’s new chips. Microsoft also partnered with basically all of the biggest Windows PC manufacturers to build a fleet of hardware tying everything together, leading to new Windows PCs unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. The result is a series of brand-new Copilot+ PCs, making now one of the most exciting times to upgrade your computer.
