These were just intruduced by Microsoft. As usual, a lot of smoke around this. - new ARM-based processor family from Qualcomm "Snapdragon X" - performance supposedly better than Apple's M series (for now) - like all new processors, it contains an NPU (for accelerating AI) - price seems to be Apple-like: <https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/copilot-pc/ci/40407> This is for pre-orders from a US discount store, in US dollars. - most models are from Microsoft so far. There is one Asus and one Lenovo. - my understanding is that they won't run Linux now. Linux support for the processor is being promised by Qualcomm but it isn't yet ready. It may be that the "Copilot+ PC" models lock out Linux anyway (my impression is that previous ARM-based Surfaces did that). - Microsoft is pushing these as being able to run LLMs locally and that the new version of Windows will delightfully exploit this. - A centrepiece of this is something called Recall that assists you in finding (computer) things that you used previously Summary: in six months or a year these might be interesting to Linux users. Right now they are too expensive and not compatible. Trivia: the least expensive models listed on BH Photo are US$999.99 These do not have enough resources to run Recall.
