Hold onto your keyboards, tech fans! Microsoft just dropped a game-changer in the AI arms race: **Copilot+ PCs**. Unveiled at a flashy event in Redmond, these laptops promise to turn your computer into a hyper-smart sidekick . Starting at $1,000, they’ll hit shelves June 18 with Acer and ASUS among the first to roll them out.
CEO Satya Nadella called the launch a \"new era\" for Windows, boasting features like **Recall**—a digital memory that tracks *everything* you do (yes, even that late-night Minecraft session ). Need to find that obscure email from three months ago? Just ask your PC. Creepy or cool? You decide.
Microsoft’s also flexing some muscle against Apple’s MacBooks: New Surface devices with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite chips blew through an Adobe demo *faster* than Apple’s silicon. Oh, and GPT-4o from OpenAI? It’s coming \"soon\" to Copilot.
Why it matters: With PC sales slumping last year, Microsoft’s betting big on AI to make upgrades irresistible. Yusuf Mehdi, their consumer marketing boss, predicts **50 million AI PCs sold in 12 months**. Analyst Ben Bajarin says it’s all about whether \"Recall\" wows users enough to ditch old laptops.
Meanwhile, the AI wars heat up . Just days after Google and OpenAI showcased eerily human voice assistants, Microsoft’s doubling down on its ChatGPT partnership. Can Copilot+ PCs outpace Apple’s rumored AI chips? Stay tuned!
