Copilot+ PCs, AI-optimized Windows PCs, were launched at a special event at new Microsoft campus today.
Copilot+ PCs are the fastest and smartest ever. Copilot+ PCs let you do things no other PC can with powerful new silicon capable of 40+ TOPS (trillion operations per second), all-day battery life, and the most advanced AI models. Recall helps you find and recall what you saw on your PC, Cocreator generates and refines AI graphics in near real time on the device, and Live Captions translates sounds from 40+ languages into English.
Microsoft Surface and their OEM partners Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Samsung bring these experiences to life on thin, light, and attractive devices, with pre-orders starting today and availability on June 18. Copilot+ PCs are great value at $999.
This first Copilot+ PC wave is just the start. Over the past year, cloud AI has advanced rapidly, with Copilot letting us achieve things we never thought imaginable. Microsoft start a new chapter with device AI innovation. Microsoft redesigned the PC from silicon to the operating system, the application layer to the cloud, with AI at the centre, marking the biggest update to Windows in decades.
The quickest, safest Windows PCs ever
Microsoft created a new system architecture to combine the power of the CPU, GPU, and high-performance NPU. Copilot+ PCs can now perform like never before thanks to Azure Cloud’s long language models (LLMs) and small language models (SLMs). Industry-leading AI acceleration is delivered by their 20x power and 100x efficiency for AI workloads. They exceed Apple’s MacBook Air 15″ by 58% in sustained multithreaded performance and have all-day battery life. Copilot+ PCs can play local videos for 22 hours or browse the web for 15 hours on a single charge, which is 20% more than the MacBook Air 15”.
Starting with Qualcomm, Windows has the finest app implementation on the fastest chip. Microsoft’s quickest Microsoft 365 app implementations Teams, PowerPoint, Outlook, Word, Excel, OneDrive, and OneNote are native Arm64 experiences. Chrome, Spotify, Zoom, WhatsApp, Blender, Affinity Suite, DaVinci Resolve, and others now run natively on Arm for optimal performance. Slack will be released later this year. Today, 87% of programme minutes are spent on native Arm versions. Prism, a powerful new emulator, runs native and emulated apps well.
Every Copilot+ PC is factory-secured. All Copilot+ PCs will have the Microsoft Pluton Security processor on by default, and Windows 11 has many new features, upgrades, and defaults that make security easy. Microsoft’s personalised privacy controls let you protect what matters.
Unique, powerful AI experiences
Copilot+ PCs unleash new experiences you can run locally on the device with strong processors and several state-of-the-art AI models, including many of Microsoft’s world-class SLMs. This reduces latency, cost, and privacy constraints to boost productivity, creativity, and communication.
Recall instantaneously
Looking for anything Microsoft have seen on their PC is one of the most aggravating difficulties they face daily. Today, Microsoft must recall its file folder, website, or read through hundreds of emails to find it.
With Recall, you may virtually recall what you saw or did on your PC like photographic memory. Like us, Copilot+ PCs organise information by relationships and associations specific to their experiences. This helps you remember things you may have forgotten so you can discover what you need fast and instinctively using your memories.
You may navigate through your timeline to find material in any app, website, document, or more. Use screenshots and screenray to intuitively take the next step with object recognition-based suggestions. Return to a specific Outlook email or Teams chat.
Recall uses your device-built semantic index. Your PC stores your photos. You can delete the snapshots, alter and delete time periods in Settings, or pause from the Taskbar System Tray icon. You may also prevent apps and websites from saving. You have complete control and reliable privacy.
Windows has AI-powered image creation and editing
Nearly 10 billion images have been made since Image Creator launched, letting more individuals create their ideas by using natural language. Today’s cloud services may limit the quantity of photos you may create, delay artwork processing, or raise privacy concerns. Microsoft is providing new experiences to your favourite creative apps like Paint and Photos using NPUs and powerful local small language models.
Use Cocreator to create images in real time from ink strokes and text prompts. The artwork evolves with you, making it easier to tweak, edit, and evolve your ideas. Highly efficient diffusion-based algorithms optimise output quality over minimum steps to make you feel like you’re creating with AI. Choose literal or emotive artwork with the creative slider. After choosing your artwork, you can iterate on it to express your ideas, regardless of your creativity.
Improve photo editing and creation. Restyle Image combines image production and photo editing in Photos to restyle your personal photos. Use a pre-set style like Cyberpunk or Claymation to change the backdrop, foreground, or entire image to create a new one. Start your next creative endeavour with Image Creator in Photos and gain visual inspiration. Copilot+ PCs let you make unlimited, rapid, custom-tailored photos and store your favourites to collections.
Your favourite creative apps provide innovative AI experiences
Microsoft is also teaming with some of the world’s most popular apps to use the NPU to create new AI experiences.
Adobe
Together with Adobe and Microsoft are excited to provide Photoshop, Lightroom, and Express to Copilot+ PCs today. Adobe Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and more arrive this summer. Their partnership to optimise AI in these apps for the NPU continues. Adobe Creative Cloud members may express their creativity faster than ever with Copilot+ PCs’ full capabilities.

Easy communication with live captions
Windows aspires to unite individuals in a globalised environment. Microsoft want more people to enjoy your favourite international podcast, watch your favourite sports team, or collaborate with friends and colleagues around the world.
Live Captions now translates all audio that comes through your PC into a single, English-language caption experience on your screen across all your apps in real time. Live or pre-recorded audio from over 40 languages in any app or video platform can be translated into English subtitles instantaneously, automatically, and offline. With the NPU and available on all Copilot+ PCs, you can trust your words are comprehended.
Improved Windows Studio Effects
Look and sound your best automatically with Quick Settings’ simple controls. Portrait light automatically brightens foreground pixels in low-light environments and improves perceived illumination in gloomy environments. New graphic, animated, and watercolour filters add style. Eye contact teleprompter aids screen reading. New voice focus and portrait blur improvements keep you in focus.
Your daily AI companion, Copilot
Every Copilot+ PC comes with your personal powerful AI agent, only a tap away on keyboards with the new Copilot key. Customers will now enjoy the whole application experience in a streamlined, simple, powerful, and personal form. You may get the latest AI models with Copilot. In the following weeks, Microsoft OpenAI partners will provide the latest models, like GPT-4o, for more natural voice chats.
Responsible AI advancement
Microsoft is committed to ethical, safe, and secure AI development. These new experiences were developed using our responsible AI principles, and all AI elements meet our requirements. Find out here.
