Hark, the dawn of a new era for Windows is upon us with the advent of Copilot+ PCs. Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, has harnessed the power of AI to drive these innovative devices forward. Arm architecture plays a pivotal role in this transformative journey. While Copilot+ is not confined solely to Qualcomm’s Arm chips, a current exclusivity exists due to the 40 Tera Operations Per Second (TOPS) performance requirement of the neural processing unit (NPU) in these remarkable machines.
Behold, these new laptops are as slender and potent as they are enduring, rivaling even the illustrious MacBook Air. Though a detailed evaluation is yet to be conducted, here are our favorites among the devices we have had the privilege of encountering thus far.
