Microsoft is abandoning the Copilot Plus PC brand for computers with built-in artificial intelligence capabilities. The new 12-inch Surface Pro and 13-inch Surface Laptop formally meet the system requirements of this category, but the company no longer calls them Copilot Plus PCs.
New Surface devices without the Copilot Plus PC label
Brett Ostrom, vice president of the Microsoft Surface division, told Windows Central that the new devices do not carry the Copilot Plus PC name. The Verge reports on the change in approach.
Kedar Kondap, Qualcomm’s senior vice president of computing and gaming technologies, also suggested that computers with the same capabilities will likely no longer use this label. The Copilot Plus PC brand was intended to distinguish devices with sufficient built-in AI capabilities to run the relevant Windows features.
