Microsoft’s AI Innovations and New Surface Devices

With Microsoft’s relentless drive into the realm of AI, they have unveiled Copilot+PCs, a new lineup of Microsoft Surface Devices and third-party devices equipped with dedicated Neural Processing Units (NPUs). These NPUs are designed to enhance response times for AI applications, and when combined with the hardware and Windows 11 ARM, they offer several notable benefits, including impressive battery life.

One of the standout features is Recall, designed to help users remember past activities. Whether you’re trying to locate a file or recall a website you visited, Recall provides a timeline for you to scroll through, offering snapshots and utilising AI to quickly identify and retrieve the content you need. This feature ensures you can seamlessly pick up where you left off or refresh your memory ahead of important meetings.
