Introducing Copilot+ PCs: The Fastest, Most Intelligent Windows PCs Ever Built

Today, at a special event on our new Microsoft campus, we introduced the world to a new category of Windows PCs designed for AI: Copilot+ PCs. These devices are the fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever built. They offer unprecedented performance, battery life, and AI capabilities.

Unmatched Performance and Advanced AI Features

Copilot+ PCs are powered by powerful new silicon capable of an incredible 40+ TOPS (trillion operations per second). This ensures lightning-fast performance and all-day battery life. These PCs bring advanced AI models directly to your device, enabling you to do things you can’t on any other PC.

With features like Recall, you can easily find and remember what you have seen on your PC. Generate and refine AI images in near real-time with Cocreator. Additionally, bridge language barriers with Live Captions, translating audio from over 40 languages into English.

Sleek Design and Immediate Availability

These groundbreaking experiences come to life on thin, light, and beautiful devices from Microsoft Surface and our OEM partners: Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Samsung. Pre-orders begin today, with availability starting on June 18. Starting at $999, Copilot+ PCs offer incredible value. They combine top-tier performance with cutting-edge AI technology.

A New Era of AI-Powered Computing

This first wave of Copilot+ PCs marks the beginning of a new chapter in AI innovation on the device. Over the past year, we have seen rapid advancements in AI within the cloud. Now, we are bringing that innovation directly to your PC. This completely reimagines the entire computing experience from silicon to the operating system, the application layer, and the cloud.

Superior System Architecture

We introduced an all-new system architecture. This brings together the power of the CPU, GPU, and a new high-performance Neural Processing Unit (NPU). Connected and enhanced by large language models (LLMs) running in our Azure Cloud in concert with small language models (SLMs), Copilot+ PCs achieve a level of performance never seen before. They are up to 20x more powerful and up to 100x as efficient for running AI workloads. They outperform Apple’s MacBook Air 15” by up to 58% in sustained multithreaded performance. Copilot+ PCs deliver up to 22 hours of local video playback or 15 hours of web browsing on a single charge. This is up to 20% more battery life than the MacBook Air 15”.

Extensive App Ecosystem

Windows now boasts the best implementation of apps on the fastest chip, starting with Qualcomm. We offer more native Arm64 experiences than ever before, including Microsoft 365 apps like Teams, PowerPoint, Outlook, Word, Excel, OneDrive, and OneNote. Popular apps such as Chrome, Spotify, Zoom, WhatsApp, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Blender, Affinity Suite, DaVinci Resolve, and many more now run natively on Arm, ensuring great performance. With a powerful new emulator, Prism, your apps run great, whether native or emulated.

Enhanced Security Features

Every Copilot+ PC comes secured out of the box. The Microsoft Pluton Security processor is enabled by default, and new features and updates in Windows 11 make it easy for users to stay secure. Personalized privacy controls help protect what’s important to you. Learn more about how we are making Windows more secure here.

Innovative AI Experiences

Copilot+ PCs leverage powerful processors and state-of-the-art AI models to unlock new experiences you can run locally, directly on the device. This eliminates previous limitations related to latency, cost, and privacy. Consequently, productivity, creativity, and communication are enhanced.

Recall Instantly

Recall addresses the daily frustration of finding something you’ve seen before on your PC. Available in preview starting June 18, Recall lets you access virtually anything you’ve seen or done on your PC. It is organized based on relationships and associations unique to your experiences. Find what you’re looking for quickly and intuitively using the cues you remember.

Cocreate with AI-Powered Image Creation and Editing

Since the launch of Image Creator, nearly 10 billion images have been generated. Now, with Cocreator, you can generate and refine images in nearly real-time directly on your device. Combine ink strokes with text prompts to create new images, iterate and refine artwork. Additionally, enjoy powerful diffusion-based algorithms that optimize for high-quality output.

Connect and Communicate Effortlessly with Live Captions

Live Captions now offer live translations. This turns any audio that passes through your PC into English-language captions in real-time. Translate any live or pre-recorded audio from over 40 languages into English subtitles. These translations are powered by the NPU and available across all Copilot+ PCs.

New Devices from Top Brands

We have worked with leading OEMs—Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung—and Surface to bring exciting new Copilot+ PCs that launch on June 18. These devices start at $999, offering powerful AI capabilities and top-notch performance. Learn more about new Copilot+ PCs and pre-order today at Microsoft.com and from major PC manufacturers, as well as other leading global retailers.

Ready for Commercial Deployment

Copilot+ PCs offer businesses the most performant Windows 11 devices with unique AI capabilities. This unlocks productivity, improves collaboration, and drives efficiency. Businesses can deploy and manage Copilot+ PCs with the same tools and processes used today. IT controls for new features and AppAssure support are included.

Future of AI Innovation

The first Copilot+ PCs will launch with Snapdragon® X Elite and Snapdragon® X Plus processors. These feature leading performance per watt thanks to the custom Qualcomm Oryon™ CPU. In the future, we expect to see devices paired with powerful graphics cards like NVIDIA GeForce RTX and AMD Radeon™, bringing Copilot+ PC experiences to advanced gamers and creators.

We are at an inflection point where the PC will accelerate AI innovation. The richest AI experiences will be possible when the cloud and device work together in concert. Together with our partners, we’re setting the frame for the next decade of Windows innovation.
