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!
