For his first-ever keynote at Computex, the big PC show held each June in Taipei, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon brought reinforcements: a parade of executives from seven laptop makers. The OEMs launched a combined 22 laptops built around Microsoft’s Copilot+, the first-ever on-device AI platform on PCs.
And for the next few months at least, the only Copilot+ laptops will be based on Snapdragon X-Series processors. Which helps explain why partner Pavan Davuluri, head of Windows at Microsoft, was also there to support the launches.
Davuluri wasn’t in Taipei just to support the new Windows AI platform. A couple of those 22 X-Series laptops are his: Surface Pro 11th Edition and Surface Laptop 7th Edition.
I was also there! Here’s my take – straight from Taipei.
