What to Know About the New Windows 11 Laptops"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We\u2019re well and truly in the \u201cAI age,\u201d but if your laptop is looking a little forlorn, there\u2019s never been a better time to upgrade.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Copilot+ PCs are powerful machines that leverage machine learning via an NPU (neural processing unit), all while using less power, to get more done in your working day.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Whether it\u2019s the sheer volume of browser tabs you\u2019ve got open at once (look, we\u2019ve all been there), you\u2019re trying to edit a photo or illustration in a specialist app like Photoshop, or you\u2019re looking to gain insights on a spreadsheet that it would otherwise take you days to read, a Copilot+ can take the hassle out of your workday.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em><strong>Editor&#8217;s Note: This article is brought to you in partnership with Microsoft.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">What is a Copilot+ PC?<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Windows 11 has Copilot functionality built in, but a Copilot+ PC computer needs to reach a certain threshold for that moniker. The bar? A neural processing unit that can reach 40 trillion (with a \u2018T\u2019!) operations per second.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Rather than offloading tasks to the cloud, the NPU runs AI tasks on your device, minimizing the impact on the environment and keeping your data secure, while also allowing more usefulness while offline. Performance is also better since you\u2019re not uploading everything.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The NPU also shares some of the workload from your CPU and GPU, meaning battery life can be drastically improved, too.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Security is (Pass)Key<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While cloud AI systems can use encryption, there\u2019s no better way of keeping your data to yourself than working on your device.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Copilot+ PCs are built with security at a fundamental level, and require biometric sign-in using a fingerprint or a face scan to ensure bad actors can\u2019t access any data stored on them.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Not only does this mean your laptop is more secure than if you\u2019d used a password, but it also allows you to use your laptop as a Passkey so you can sign into sites and apps using your face or fingertips.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Do It In A Click<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Something no other platform offers is Click to Do. This scans your screen, noting text, images, or other files, and suggests action points to take.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">That means summarizing a lengthy product brief you\u2019ve been sent, translating a block of text, or updating formatting can all be done in a single click, and with no dedicated app required.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">To activate it, just press the Windows key and click, or press Windows and Q on your keyboard.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Bring Your Vision To Life<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Copilot Vision and Copilot Voice are baked right into all Windows 11 PCs, and are all about making your PC easier to use, regardless of your level of technical expertise.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Vision can read text back to you, helping break down complex items or even error messages, while Voice lets you simply ask your PC what something means.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The two also have huge accessibility benefits, making it easier for anyone to get the information they need.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Whether you&#8217;re looking to work smarter, create faster, or stay connected, Windows 11 and Copilot help you get more done &#8211; while Copilot+ PCs unlock the most powerful AI experiences yet.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Lloyd Coombes is an experienced freelancer in tech, gaming and fitness seen at Polygon, Eurogamer, Macworld, TechRadar and many more.
