Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs: Promising Hardware, Incomplete AI Development

The new Arm-powered devices showcase impressive performance but face challenges with a fragmented AI toolchain.

Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs feature Qualcomm's Snapdragon X processors and built-in neural processing units (NPUs).
These devices excel in speed, battery life, and emulation of older apps, rivaling Apple's M-series chips.
The AI capabilities, including live captioning and AI image generation, are less compelling than the hardware performance.
Developers face hurdles with a fragmented AI development workflow and incomplete toolchain integration.
Microsoft's Recall feature has been delayed due to security concerns, and other AI features need further refinement.
