Highlights
00:04 — The company is announcing a new series of Windows PCs built for AI. It says Copilot+ PCs are the fastest, highest-spect Windows PCs ever built: They’re capable of 40-trillion-plus operations per second, they have all-day battery life, and they provide access to the latest AI models.

00:33 — The PCs use a function called Recall to remember and retrieve actions you’ve completed on your system. Another function, Co-Creator, enables users to generate and work on AI images in real-time. A live captioning function can translate audio from over 40 languages into English.
01:04 — PCs using the technology will be delivered by Microsoft (Surface), Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Samsung, starting at $999. This innovation is democratizing AI development by providing rich functionality at an affordable price while following a solid technology development plan to ensure widespread knowledge of Copilot.
