Microsoft says it now has laptops that can match Apple for battery life as well as performance. Plus, they have AI

Already a subscriber?Microsoft has finally fought back against Apple, almost four years after its rival stole the lead in the PC business by taking the chips out of its iPhones and iPads and putting them into laptops.

Copilot is Microsoft’s version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, customised to give more business-appropriate answers to users of the Microsoft’s software, most of which now has Copilot built in.Microsoft said the new computers would also outperform their closest Apple rival, the MacBook Air, by “up to 58 per cent in sustained multithreaded performance”, according to one test they did using the popular Cinebench benchmark.

But this time it’s tried to get the whole PC industry on board, and alongside its Surface Pro and Surface Laptop Copilot+ PCs, it announced that Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung would all be coming out Copilot+ PCs, too.Overnight, HP announced the OmniBook X AI PC and EliteBook Ultra AI PC, both of which would run Qualcomm’s X Elite processor, just like Microsoft’s Surface devices.

Microsoft announced a host of AI enhancements for Copilot+ machines, including a feature called “Recall” that uses AI-based natural language to help Windows users find information on their computers, even if it’s been deleted.Recall will take multiple “snapshots” of the state of a computer and save them on the computer’s storage drive. It will take images of the computer’s “active screen every few seconds”, and store those images, encrypted, on the PC, too, Microsoft said.
