Copilot+ PC
Copilot+ PC is a device class from Microsoft for Windows laptops with a dedicated AI chip. Certain AI features run directly on the device there.
What does Copilot+ PC mean?
The requirement is a processor with a powerful compute unit for AI tasks, as well as minimum specs for memory and storage. Manufacturers may only use the label if these requirements are met.
The advantage: AI features such as live captions with translation or image editing work without a detour through the cloud, so they are faster and the data doesn't leave the device. Many of these laptops use power-efficient chips and therefore last a long time.
A general explanation of the term, not from a video. How it plays out on a specific device in everyday use is covered in the reviews below.
