One thing I've learnt these past few months is that running your own website solo can be a stupid amount of work and you can't cover everything.

But this week Microsoft announced its latest batch of AI-powered computers, dubbed CoPilot+ PCs, with pretty much every manufacturer jumping on board.

The big takeaway is that these machines are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors (rather than traditional Intel chips), which offer the benefit of battery life similar to that found on Apple MacBooks.

These processors all boast a dedicated Neural Processing Unit to help manage the AI tasks without draining battery life.

There are some software developments as well, like Recall, which acts as a timeline of your computer use so you can easily go back to that recipe you looked at last week. Though I can't imagine you'd want a software giant tracking your every move on a computer, even if Microsoft does promise it's device-only and you can customise what it tracks.

There's also a lot of AI image generation functionality, in apps like Paint and Photos. Or the ability for live captions and translations during video calls.

## What about hardware?

Microsoft has a few new Surface laptops that use the SnapDragon X processor for CoPilot+ computing. But HP, Lenovo, Dell, Acer and ASUS are all on board as well, with dedicated models using the same chips.

I'll try and dive into the range of machines in a different article, but for now it's an interesting development from Microsoft.
