Microsoft Copilot + PCs: Features
The latest offering from the house of Microsoft has a minimum specification of above 40 TOPS (trillion operations per second) and 16GB RAM. It features the most advanced AI models on the NPU (Neural Processing Unit), as per Microsoft.
These specially crafted PCs have also been enhanced by the large language models (LLMs) running in Microsoft Azure Cloud for better experiences with photos, editing and so on.
Prior to its release, one feature in particular made headlines for the wrong release. The ‘Recall’ feature left users concerned about their safety, however, now they can relax as these PCs do not have the Recall feature which was unveiled in May. This feature mainly was about the device continuously taking and storing screenshots of user activity.
