We knew more computers were coming Provides a native version of Microsoft’s AI Copilot toolkit, but we didn’t know exactly how many would be revealed. It’s practically an AI avalanche. Companies like Dell, Acer and HP have announced PCs that have adopted Microsoft’s AI software and NVIDIA’s AI hardware. The age of the artificial intelligence computer is approaching.
These are Copilot+ PC could truly change the way we interact with computers, bringing the nuances of natural language to many everyday tasks. The computers all have a special key to train Copilot and are powered by Arm-based Snapdragon X CPUs that include powerful onboard neural processing units (NPUs) for AI tasks. Although similar in some ways, each of the following computers brings their own ideas to the AI table. Let’s get to it.
Surface laptop
New Surface laptop It was the first Copilot+ PC detailed at Microsoft’s event. The updated PC has all the AI bells and whistles you’d expect from a first-party device. It also has serious specifications. The Surface Laptop’s touchscreen display can reach 600 nits of brightness, is available in 13- and 15-inch options, and has a studio camera integrated into the frame. Microsoft says the laptop is 80 percent faster than the previous generation, and the battery can last more than 22 hours per charge. Of course, there is a Copilot button, but also a touch sensor. The Surface Laptop starts at just $1,000, and supplies will end on June 18.
Surface Pro
It looks like Microsoft has ditched the numerical naming convention with its Surface hybrid devices. This updated version should be called Surface Pro 10, but it is it’s just called Surface Pro. Microsoft says its latest Surface Pro is 90 percent faster than the Surface 9. that was already fast enough. There’s also an OLED version that boasts a “near infinite” contrast ratio between deep blacks and brighter colors.
The company also boasts that the front camera is the best it has ever made with fantastic low-light performance. The rear camera can record 4K video. The new Flex keyboard design it can work both attached and detached, so you can place things however you like.

Acer Swift 14 AI
This is Acerin spin on the company’s line of Swift-branded laptops. The Snapdragon X CPU enables all kinds of AI work with access to both Recall and Cocreator tools. Artificial intelligence is also used for game optimization and real-time live video enhancement. The tools also allow for real-time translations and speech captions of any live or pre-recorded video, though this applies to most Copilot+ computers.
As for specifications, the laptop includes a 14.5-inch touchscreen display, up to 32GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of solid-state storage. All of this is packed into a rather attractive metal chassis. The Acer Swift 14 AI will go on sale in July starting at $1,100.
HP Omnibook X
HP has revived its once-iconic Omnibook notebook line and updated it for the age of artificial intelligence. It ships with the Omnibook X uber-powerful Snapdragon X Elite CPU, has up to 12 cores and a maximum speed of 3.4 GHz. Qualcomm Hexagon NPU It powers all these AI bells and whistles and the Adreno GPU should be able to handle even the most graphically demanding games. You can specify this laptop with up to 32GB of RAM and up to 2TB of solid state storage.
The Omnibook X has the same Copilot key as the rest of these computers, which gives you instant access to Microsoft’s digital assistant.

The Omnibook X wasn’t the only AI computer HP announced today. The company also introduced the business-oriented EliteBook Ultra G1q. This laptop also uses a Snapdragon X Elite CPU with an NPU capable of over 40 trillion operations per second. This means it should complete AI tasks at a fast clip. The new EliteBook Ultra can do all the typical chatbot/digital assistant stuff, but Poly Camera Pro software now runs on the NPU, so you won’t be using CPU power when using tools like background blur and virtual backgrounds during video calls. .
This computer also includes advanced endpoint security at the software level to protect against phishing sites and malware attacks. It has a 14-inch touchscreen display and a battery that charges up to 50 percent in just 30 minutes. However, you’ll be stuck with 16GB of soldered RAM, and storage space maxes out at 1TB.
