Microsoft’s PC Re-Invention, What We Really Think

AI, AI.. And oh, did I also say AI? I think at this point, the whole concept of Artificial Intelligence has become a bit much. Google repeated it 120 times at IO, Apple also did a good amount at their recent iPad event, but props where props is due, the company that truly made it a buzzword is Microsoft with their Open AI collaboration. Clearly the guys at Redmond are on a mission to ensure they remain on-top in the trend, and Microsoft's Build 2024 keynote wasn't just about the theory, but instead about how they're planning to marry software with powerful hardware. Yes, there's a lot that you can already do with your current computers, but let's just say, the new computers that are coming will help you do so much more. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and it's time for another deep dive into what we've learned, and why you should care.

Copilot is addicting because it’s so useful. It’s the first “assistant” that can display and share spot price gold. Explain calls and puts. Also, Windows 11 is a polished, and finished product. It makes Windows 10 look like developer software in comparison.

The requirement that chips have NPU is a big move. Once the hardware is mainstream, and every computer has a neural processor built in, developers would start to use it more to write more efficient apps by offloading some tasks to it.

[@kabaneri2]

I'm selling my Galaxy Book 3 Pro, and pre-ordered the Surface Pro. I'm so over Intel's fan noise and subpar battery life.

[@extra4542]

100%, you got a laptop right on the cusp of a huge revamp in the PC landscape for high performance with high efficiency. It’s the Apple M series chip equivalent for Windows. Leaving Intel behind was one of the best things Apple did for their laptops, the same thing is happening for PC. I think you’ll surely regret it if you don’t while you still can

[@jonanddy]

I would tbh

BIG changes coming in LUNAR LAKE though. Power Via backside power, Ribbon FET, 1.8 nanometer, AND, drum-roll, Power islands, also known as voltage islands, allow different areas of a single chip to operate at different voltage levels and frequencies. This concept can provide several advantages, including: Adaptive power management, Fine-grained control, and Minimal power and frequency.

I think that recall thing is gimmicky very rarely would I need to remember what I was doing. I usually know what I’m doing, but I think what it does do is it gives the AI context of what you’ve been working on when you ask it questions in the future. So that you don’t have to explain everything each time to ask it questions.

[@robertdragoff6909]

Interesting concept, but to me it reminds me of the BIG computer vs. my little computer….. But now AI is everywhere . It’s only starting up, and it’ll be interesting to see where it goes.

[@RemofRenaissance]

I agree - I was deep in the Apple eco system but now my iPad is enough to get my media stuff done so to add to my iPad I look forward to adding a co-pilot machine (Surface Pro 9 maybe). As you say it is good to see them shine now and we have some balance in the consumer market

[@johnmartin8481]

I for one have been waiting for a true digital assistant to partner with me for anything and everything I can think of for work and play. I was one of the first to opt in for Copilot Pro for Office 365 and Copilot Preview in Windows 11 along with Copilot for Bing/Edge. From a productivity perspective, the improvements I have experienced has been in a word, transforming. And this is all being performed from the cloud services of Microsoft. I would love to have a lot of power on my Windows PC. I have not been this excited to consider a new Windows PC sooner rather than later in a long time. In my case, I would rather wait until Intel provides their solution and compare x86 Intel vs AMD and ARM. I am so excited to see these new Copilot + PC models from Samsung. And in my view while all these advancements are outstanding for the PC, it is only a piece of the answer for me. I want a seamless experience with my Samsung Galaxy S smartphone and Tab S tablet as well. I think Apple will make this integration before Windows and Android can. Come to think about it, Samsung may just surprise everyone and integrate this into the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem. Go Samsung!

They haven’t been slouches, my iPad mini 6, Apple TV, runs at 16 tops, my Mac mini M1, runs at 8 tops in ai.
