The event won’t be livestreamed; it’s strictly for invited journalists. And it’s expected to feature new consumer versions of the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6. Both devices are believed to have the latest Snapdragon X Elite processors inside as well as dedicated neural processing for Windows 11 AI. Microsoft says it’ll be setting the stage for “the year of the AI PC”.
So what does that mean?
Windows PCs are getting a whole lot faster
Modern PCs aren’t exactly slow. But for some time nowApplehas been the firm getting all the attention for its M1, M2 and M3 systems and their variants while Windows on ARM devices have lagged behind. According toThe Verge, Microsoft reckons those days are over: the Snapdragon X Elite “will finally offer the performance it has been looking for to push Windows on ARM much more aggressively.”
The May event isn’t just about hardware. It’s also about Microsoft’s ongoing AI upgrades to Windows, which include an AI Explorer app that promises to find “anything you’ve ever seen or done on your device” alongside AI-powered video effects, image generation and CoPilot.
