Microsoft has re-evaluated its upcoming ‘Recall’ feature, initially met with criticism over privacy concerns. The feature, initially set to be enabled by default, will now be opt-in, requiring user activation and biometric authentication. Additionally, the database storing the feature’s screenshots will now be encrypted. These changes address fears that the feature could be exploited for data misuse.
Nvidia and Microsoft have collaborated to develop an API that will allow developers to run AI-accelerated applications on RTX graphics cards. This move will pave the way for more powerful AI applications and the ability to run them on PCs that currently do not meet the requirements for Copilot+ PCs. The partnership also introduces retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) capabilities to the Copilot runtime, enhancing the AI model’s ability to provide helpful solutions. Additionally, Nvidia unveiled the RTX AI Toolkit, a developer suite that provides tools and SDKs for optimizing AI models for specific applications.
Microsoft’s new Copilot+ PC program has brought forth a slew of new Windows laptops, but Samsung’s Galaxy Book4 Edge stands out as the thinnest and most exciting entry. This laptop boasts an impressive design, powerful AI capabilities, and a competitive price point. While some concerns remain around its pricing, the Galaxy Book4 Edge has the potential to be a true MacBook Air competitor on the Windows side.
Microsoft’s Copilot+ program and the transition to ARM chips are bringing a new generation of thin, powerful, and long-lasting Windows laptops. The Surface Laptop, Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge, Dell XPS 13 (9345), HP OmniBook X 14, and Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x are among the first Copilot+ PCs available, offering a glimpse into the future of Windows computing.
