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. Copilot+ PCs are the fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever built. With powerful new silicon capable of an incredible 40+ TOPS (trillion operations per second), all-day battery life and access to the most advanced AI models, Copilot+ PCs will enable you to do things you can't on any other PC. Easily find and remember what you have seen in your PC with Recall, generate and refine AI images in near real-time directly on the device using Cocreator, and bridge language barriers with Live Captions, translating audio from 40+ languages into English.

These experiences come to life on a set of thin, light and beautiful devices from Microsoft Surface and our OEM partners Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung, with pre-orders beginning today and availability starting on June 18. Starting at $999, Copilot+ PCs offer incredible value. This first wave of Copilot+ PCs is just the beginning. Over the past year, we have seen an incredible pace of innovation of AI in the cloud with Copilot allowing us to do things that we never dreamed possible. Now, we begin a new chapter with AI innovation on the device. We have completely reimagined the entirety of the PC - from silicon to the operating system, the application layer to the cloud - with AI at the center, marking the most significant change to the Window platform in decades.

The fastest, most secure Windows PCs ever built
We introduced an all-new system architecture to bring the power of the CPU, GPU, and now a new high performance Neural Processing Unit (NPU) together. Connected to and enhanced by the large language models (LLMs) running in our Azure Cloud in concert with small language models (SLMs), Copilot+ PCs can now 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 and deliver industry-leading AI acceleration. They outperform Apple's MacBook Air 15" by up to 58% in sustained multithreaded performance, all while delivering all-day battery life. With incredible efficiency, Copilot+ PCs can deliver up to 22 hours of local video playback or 15 hours of web browsing on a single charge. That is up to 20% more battery in local video playback than the MacBook Air 15".

Windows now has the best implementation of apps on the fastest chip, starting with Qualcomm. We now offer more native Arm 64 experiences than ever before, including our fastest implementation of Microsoft 365 apps like Teams, PowerPoint, Outlook, Word, Excel, OneDrive and OneNote. Chrome, Spotify, Zoom, WhatsApp, Blender, Affinity Suite, DaVinci Resolve and many more now run natively on Arm to give you great performance with additional apps, like Slack, releasing later this year. In fact, 87% of the total app minutes people spend in apps today have native Arm versions. With a powerful new emulator, Prism, your apps run great, whether native or emulated.

Every Copilot+ PC comes secured out of the box. The Microsoft Pluton Security processor will be enabled by default on all Copilot+ PCs and we have introduced a number of new features, updates and defaults to Windows 11 that make it easy for users to stay secure. And, we've built in personalized privacy controls to help you protect what's important to you. You can read more about how we are making Windows more secure here.

Entirely new, powerful AI experiences
Copilot+ PCs leverage powerful processors and multiple state-of-the-art AI models, including several of Microsoft's world-class SLMs, to unlock a new set of experiences you can run locally, directly on the device. This removes previous limitations on things like latency, cost and even privacy to help you be more productive, creative and communicate more effectively.

Recall instantly
We set out to solve one of the most frustrating problems we encounter daily - finding something we know we have seen before on our PC. Today, we must remember what file folder it was stored in, what website it was on, or scroll through hundreds of emails trying to find it.

Now with Recall, you can access virtually what you have seen or done on your PC in a way that feels like having photographic memory. Copilot+ PCs organize information like we do - based on relationships and associations unique to each of our individual experiences. This helps you remember things you may have forgotten so you can find what you're looking for quickly and intuitively by simply using the cues you remember.

You can scroll across time to find the content you need in your timeline across any application, website, document, or more. Interact intuitively using snapshots with screenray to help you take the next step using suggested actions based on object recognition. And get back to where you were, whether to a specific email in Outlook or the right chat in Teams.

Recall leverages your personal semantic index, built and stored entirely on your device. Your snapshots are yours; they stay locally on your PC. You can delete individual snapshots, adjust and delete ranges of time in Settings, or pause at any point right from the icon in the System Tray on your Taskbar. You can also filter apps and websites from ever being saved. You are always in control with privacy you can trust.

Cocreate with AI-powered image creation and editing, built into Windows
Since the launch of Image Creator, almost 10 billion images have been generated, helping more people bring their ideas to life easily by using natural language to describe what they want to create. Yet, today's cloud offerings may limit the number of images you can create, keep you waiting while the artwork processes or even present privacy concerns. By using the Neural Processing Units (NPUs) and powerful local small language models, we are bringing innovative new experiences to your favorite creative applications like Paint and Photos.

Combine your ink strokes with text prompts to generate new images in nearly real time with Cocreator. As you iterate, so does the artwork, helping you more easily refine, edit and evolve your ideas. Powerful diffusion-based algorithms optimize for the highest quality output over minimum steps to make it feel like you are creating alongside AI. Use the creativity slider to choose from a range of artwork from more literal to more expressive. Once you select your artwork, you can continue iterating on top of it, helping you express your ideas, regardless of your creative skills.

Take photo editing and image creation to the next level. With Restyle Image, you can reimagine your personal photos with a new style combining image generation and photo editing in Photos. Use a pre-set style like Cyberpunk or Claymation to change the background, foreground or full picture to create an entirely new image. Or jumpstart your next creative project and get visual inspiration with Image Creator in Photos. On Copilot+ PCs you can generate endless images for free, fast, with the ability to fine tune images to your liking and to save your favorites to collections.



Innovative AI experiences from the creative apps you love
We are also partnering with some of the biggest and most-loved applications on the planet to leverage the power of the NPU to deliver new innovative AI experiences.

Adobe
Together with Adobe, we are thrilled to announce Adobe's flagship apps are coming to Copilot+ PCs, including Photoshop, Lightroom and Express - available today. Illustrator, Premiere Pro and more are coming this summer. And we're continuing to partner to optimize AI in these apps for the NPU. For Adobe Creative Cloud customers, they will benefit from the full performance advantages of Copilot+ PCs to express their creativity faster than ever before.

DaVinci Resolve Studio
Effortlessly apply visual effects to objects and people using NPU-accelerated Magic Mask in DaVinci Resolve Studio.

CapCut
Remove the background from any video clip in a snap using Auto Cutout running on the NPU in CapCut.

Cephable
Stay in your flow with faster, more responsive adaptive input controls, like head movement or facial expressions via the new NPU-powered camera pipeline in Cephable.

LiquidText
Make quicker and smarter annotations to documents, using AI features that run entirely on-device via NPU, so data stays private in LiquidText.

djay Pro
Have fun breaking down and remixing any music track, with a new, higher-quality version of NeuralMix that's exclusive to NPU in Algoriddim's djay Pro.



Connect and communicate effortlessly with live captions
In an increasingly connected and global world, Windows wants to bring people closer together. Whether catching up on your favorite podcast from a different country, or watching your favorite international sports team, or even collaborating with friends and colleagues across the world, we want to make more content accessible to more people.

Live Captions now has live translations and will turn any audio that passes through your PC into a single, English-language caption experience, in real time on your screen across all your apps consistently. You can translate any live or pre-recorded audio in any app or video platform from over 40 languages into English subtitles instantly, automatically and even while you're offline. Powered by the NPU and available across all Copilot+ PCs, now you can have confidence your words are understood as intended.

New and enhanced Windows Studio Effects
Look and sound your best automatically with easily accessible controls at your fingertips in Quick Settings. Portrait light automatically adjusts the image to improve your perceived illumination in a dark environment or brighten the foreground pixels when in a low-light environment. Three new creative filters (illustrated, animated or watercolor) add an artistic flare. Eye contact teleprompter helps you maintain eye contact while reading your screen. New improvements to voice focus and portrait blur help ensure you're always in focus.

Every Copilot+ PC comes with your personal powerful AI agent that is just a single tap away on keyboards with the new Copilot key. Copilot will now have the full application experience customers have been asking for in a streamlined, simple yet powerful and personal design. Copilot puts the most advanced AI models at your fingertips. In the coming weeks, get access to the latest models including GPT-4o from our partners at OpenAI, so you can have voice conversations that feel more natural.



Advancing AI responsibly

woah woah woah, I’m a copilot. I’m not an actual pilot.

All these examples of the benefits of AI don’t really excite me much. I must not be using my technologies right. What I need is a good copilot.

I am very deeply concerned about this glorified AI keylogger they're calling Recall.

No. Piss off Microsoft. This is the last line to be crossed. This becomes anywhere close to the core Windows experience, I am buying a Mac and never looking back.

Well, I’m sure it will, since modern Windows is all about telemetry and monitoring your usage habits. Sadly, Apple is not far from their own AI ambitions. Right now they are considerably behind, but honestly I’m quite okay with that. People give them crap about how dumb Siri is, but I’ve never taken to digital assistants and taking to computers anyway.

Hallucinating. But you can always ask her what she's smoking.

Are they equipped with eject copilot button?
If you can press Alt-Ctrl-Shift-Win-Copilot with one finger. The right middle finger.

Usually I have some funny remark on these posts, but here I'm just lost for words.

Copilot, help me out here

"Starting at $999, Copilot+ PCs offer incredible value"
They're already upselling this, so now you get a $499,- worth laptop at double price because AI button. Wow, no this totally isn't gonna be the next bubble is it.

I am very deeply concerned about this glorified AI keylogger they're calling Recall.
To me it feels more like a stunted creepware than a keylogger...

To be honest tho, I don't see anything in the description in the official site that has me thinking this would be a bad tech for the user, other than the storage requirements and the normalization of even less use of one's brain.

(That is, of course, if you can put enough trust in Microsoft's words).

Yes. And switching to Apple will do nothing to help you escape AI.

I don't mean to escape AI, although I don't want it to be tracing each and every step of my computer usage patterns. I just don't see what I'm getting out of this.

That's fine, don't disagree with you there. What I disagree with is that switching to Apple will make a difference in that regard.

Seems a bit reaching, from what I read it's just interactive video. The desktop is recorded and the user can play it back and the AI component just rebuilds the desktop into usable elements extracted from the screenshot. Don't this as means to track usage patterns. I'm sure there are way less obvious ways to track usage patterns and probably are already doing so, therefore what would be the point of using copilot as a trojan for this purpose?

The way it's described just gives me a massive ick. I set out to disable all of the automation, even the maintenance scripts from my machine as I seek maximum performance for gaming, so this is basically the antithesis to everything I want on a computer to begin with

You know, I was on a short car trip today and usually in that situation I'll just listen to local radio. I came across an afternoon show (that normally plays "classic" Alternative) that was talking about this very subject, and they pretty much echoed every concern posted here. These are radio guys, who admittedly aren't techy. One of the big concerns one guy had was that even if this is "local and encrypted," it won't take long before a Copilot+ PC (or equivalent) is confiscated as evidence and the justice system approaches MS for a warrant to unlock it. They then went on to cite various examples in the past where someone's electronic history has been logged and used against them in court. They didn't quite jump over to totalitarianism, but it doesn't take much imagination to see a world where all our AI PCs keep tabs on our "Good Citizen Behavior."

To me, I see absolutely no value to Recall. None whatsoever. It's not a feature I've wished for. I don't even use Time Machine on Mac because it's really lived out its purpose at this point. I think MS's hope is that folks just leave it alone (not disable it), so it can do the job of logging, tracking, and recording and sending telemetry back. We've probably agreed to letting it do just that in the EULA that no one reads. In a sense, it can only fail if people actively do something to disable it, and if enough people do that, MS will come up with a reason that it can't be disabled, like it does with Edge. If users simply ignore it, it's probably still serving MS.

If it uses more than 1% of everything i switch to Linux.
