Microsoft Copilot Now on New Laptops - Browse the Best Selection of Snapdragon Elite X Machines for Immediate Purchase
Several PC manufacturers recentlylaunched Qualcomm-powered laptops and many models are hitting store shelves and shipping out from today. TheseCopilot+ PCs come with Arm-basedSnapdragon X chips featuring a 45 TOPS NPU and have new AI-powered features,like Paint’s Cocreator , as well as access to the controversial Windows Recall feature that’s been relegatedto Windows Insiders only.
Although these new Copilot+ PCs are only getting a few new features to start with, other third-party apps like Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, DaVinci Resolve Studio, CapCut, and more will use the built-in NPUs on these computers to run AI features locally. Furthermore, the efficiency of the Arm-based processors of these chips means we’re finally getting Windows laptops that can compete with the legendary battery life of Apple-silicon-powered MacBooks.
So, if you’re in the market for a new Windows laptop and want to get in on the AI bandwagon, these are the Snapdragon X laptops launching today or in the next few weeks.
