  • Microsoft pitches Copilot+ AI PCs as the future of Windows 11 hardware
    January 12, 2026, 9:36 PM EST. Microsoft promotes a new class of Windows PCs called Copilot+ PCs, branding them as essential for the next generation of computing. The company says all Copilot+ devices are Windows 11 PCs, but not all Windows 11 PCs qualify. Criteria cited in a marketing document include up to 16GB RAM, a 256GB SSD, and an NPU with 40+ TOPs. Older AI PCs with fewer TOPs, such as a 2024 Spectre with about 10 TOPs, do not meet the threshold. NPU stands for Neural Processing Unit, used for on-device AI and ML tasks. Microsoft claims Copilot+ PCs are secure and accelerate productivity, offering features like Image Creator in Paint, Recall, and Live Captions with translations. Windows Latest obtained the document.
