If your laptop has started to feel slow and is struggling to keep up with AI-powered workflows, upgrading to a new PC with a newer processor, higher RAM and bigger storage space might seem like the only choice to you. But chances are that even with the latest upgrades, your PC might not be able to handle those AI-heavy workloads. Reason? The reason is that it may not have the hardware required to run those AI-intensive workloads. The solution is to use a Copilot+ PC.
What is a Copilot+ PC?
Copilot+ PCs are the new generation of Windows laptops that are designed specifically for AI-heavy computing. Unlike traditional laptops, Copilot+ PCs include dedicated hardware that let users run AI-powered apps and services locally without relying on cloud processing. More specifically, these PCs include Neural Processing Units (NPUs) that handle AI tasks locally, which not only increases the overall efficiency but also increases the overall security of the data. Simply put, while traditional PCs work on CPU + GPU-based architecture, Copilot+ PCs work on CPU + GPU + NPU-based architecture that enables them to deliver real-time, on-device processing, which, in turn provides hybrid AI experiences that allow workloads to be intelligently distributed between the cloud and the PC.
