unfortunately while you were clicking on this video AI achieved super
intelligence and replaced all of us this is a simulation you are in a video game
I'm the master chief this morning Microsoft and their Partners finally
unveiled a hefty lineup of laptops powered by qualcomm's heavily hyped 12
core Snapdragon X Elite and 10 core X+
chips based on the ARM architecture rather than x86 they're meant to usher
in a ARM-based revolution for Windows PCS just like Apple's m one did for Max
and based on early Impressions it kind of looks like they
might it's been a long time since I felt
excited about Windows laptops it feels weird I don't like it Microsoft's
calling these new Snapdragon X powerered laptops co-pilot plus PCS replacing the
AI PCS code name but jokes on them because I don't want to use either of
those phrases however the company said more co-pilot plus PCS will be coming
later powered by Intel and AMD chips as
long as they achieve a minimum of 40 trillion operations per second or tops
which their current chips cannot but more on that later the other things that
make a co-pilot plus PC are access to
the most advanced AI models to power a suite of new software features and all
day battery life although some manufacturers already claimed to last
for multiple days before the other ones were like okay okay Lenovo no just just
wait sorry we don't usually let them talk all in all the battery life numbers
I've seen are quite impressive we're talking 17 to 20 plus hours depending on
the model and the task but many of these notebooks reportedly outperform an M3
MacBook Air also I don't know why I forgot to put this in the script but
Microsoft showed the Snapdragon X Elite in the surface laptop and Surface Pro
beating out the M3 MacBook Air uh in
both single and multi-threaded performance and why would they lie the
laptop lineup is by the redesigned Surface Pro and surface laptop I didn't
say numbers there because Microsoft wanted these to be like Macbook so bad
they copied Apple's horrible tradition of hiding the exact model name unless
you dig for it in the settings somewhere where apparently they're listed as the
Surface Pro 11th Edition and surface laptop 7th edition not to be confused
with the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Pro 6 for business that were launched back
in March those have Intel processors they are bad and dirty don't think about
them instead Microsoft said these new surfaces perform 80 to 90% faster than
their non-b business predecessors the Surface Pro 9 and surface laptop 5 and
they've got Hardware upgrades a haptic touchpad and smaller bezels on both the
13.8 and 15in versions of the laptop and
a new flex keyboard that works while detached from the Surface Pro which also
Sports a 13-in OLED display for the first time both machines start at ,000
bucks which indicates how much confidence Microsoft has in these new
chips and they're not the only ones HP
is revamping their entire PC lineup killing its existing branding names like
Spectre Pavilion dragonfly and envy new
consumer HP notebooks will be called Omni books which is sure to steal some
of the MacBook crowd it's Omni it can do it all I mean they'll they'll get that
right meanwhile their more business e notebooks will be called Elite books
with of course various suffixes HP announced one of each powered by a
Snapdragon X Elite Dell has also gone
all in announcing the first XPS 13 which
is somewhat widely viewed as the MacBook of Windows PCS to feature a non-Intel
processor there's also an Inspiron 14 and 14 plus featuring the Snapdragon X+
and two latitude models from Lenovo we got a yoga slim 7x1 14 gen 9 and a
ThinkPad t14s Gen 6 you know those
models ASUS announced a Vivo book S15
Acer showed off the Swift 14 Ai and
Samsung showed off its galaxy book 4 Edge which you definitely want okay you
guys you want this but just in case you don't we're going to throw in a free
50-in TV not really matching the confidence of some of those other laptop
makers okay but what about the new co-pilot powered AI goodies in Windows
well whether this is a goodie or not depends on how you feel about privacy
co-pilot plus PCS will have access to recall which captures and locally stores
a snapshot of everything you do on your PC every few seconds which you can ask
co-pilot to retrieve later sounds like you have the ability to block recall
from capturing certain things but I mean no promises okay it's a curious little
AI it might take a little peek anyways a little Scamp there's also super
resolution which will upscale support games and of course the co-pilot
assistant itself which can edit files in
file explorer and watch your screen
giving you pointers on how to do apparently almost anything even crafting
certain items in Minecraft that's thanks to the assistant's new support for open
ai's natively multimodal GPT 4 as well
as multiple state-of-the-art AI models including Microsoft's own small language
models Microsoft says there are now over 40 such models integrated deeply into
Windows 11 on ARM because remember Windows on ARM used to suck but it's now
got a new kernel and compiler as well as a new ARM to x86 emulator called prism
Microsoft really didn't talk about prism
that much which doesn't exactly Inspire confidence but who needs it anyway 87%
of the total app minutes people spend in apps today have native ARM versions so
whatever and it's true native ARM versions of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
Firefly and express will launch with these new notebooks with Premier Pro and
illustrator coming in the summer and a handful of AI features in other apps
were discussed as well but this just leaves me wondering what about Intel
their current chips cannot meet the co-pilot plus PC's Topps requirements
well team blue actually released a teaser this morning for their upcoming
lunar Lake chips which should hit 45 tops on the npu loone and 60 plus with
help from the CPU and GPU so that right there should stop this ARM Revolution
dead you can enjoy ARM day all you want
leg day is coming and get someone else to come pick up your old graphics card
like today's sponsor Jawa they make getting rid of your GPU Easy by just
buying it off of you themselves all you have to do is go through the steps on
their site to get an instant quote and a free shipping label most sellers will
get paid within one business day after Jawa receives the part and that's quick
not as quick as quick bits but still pretty good and if you're looking to upgrade your graphics card find big

aip's for a long time so in order to make sure today's editor Oliver doesn't
murder me these are going to be real quick bits are you ready okay does that
sound good Oliver he's angry open AI is working to
pause the use of Sky the voice they chose to demo GPT 40's real-time
capabilities which many viewers compared to Scarlett Johansson's voice in the
movie her even though scarjo gave more
calmly intrigued instead of obvious
emotional manipul wow so cute I date me Apple has released
version 17.5 point1 of both iOS and iPad
OS which the company says should fix that pesky bug from last week that
caused deleted photos and in some cases nudes to reappear in the main photos
Library Apple says the cause was database corruption and not a harmless
mischievous prank by Tim Cook oh where' those come from got you
have you bought your mom an iPhone yet at its IO 2024 conference Google talked
to Android developers about its engage SDK a feature that offers a software
surface from which devs can entice users
to resume interacting with a specific part of their apps like promoting a
particular shopping deal or a new music recommendation feature it can really
enhance the way that it it's this is ADS
notifications Aren't Enough Android is going to to have a separate feed or
something where devs can show you ads for their app come back you didn't you
didn't check this thing out I'm good and neuralink has gotten the go-ahead from
the FDA to implant a second person with
the company's brain computer interface the first recipient Nolan Arbok was
heartbroken when around 85% of the threads in his implant came loose
causing him to lose some functionality
neuralink has since stabilized and optimized the remaining threads bringing
back much of arb's cyber kinetic abilities but the incident is sure to
make any applicants think twice about signing up to get a computer sewn into
their brain let's just hope neuralink doesn't pull a Tesla elon's other
company which just dropped its year old support for steam in the cybertruck the
games are too crazy now we can't do it hey that's not even a fair comparison
they're completely different companies well you better come back on Wednesday
so you can give me a real piece of your mind although Maybe just keep all the
pieces of your mind together I heard that having them come apart isn't Fun
