Engadget Podcast: Microsoft goes Copilot+ crazy

Microsoft is leaning even more into AI after launching a new Copilot+ AI PC initiative earlier this year. It’s a new set of standards for PCs with powerful neural processing units (NPUs), and it could be just as significant for Windows as Apple’s move towards its M-series chips. In this episode, Cherlynn and Devindra discuss Copilot+ and the potential rise of Arm-based Windows systems, and we dive into the new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop.
