    Copilot+ Laptops Launch Today, But You Shouldn’t Buy One Right Now

    Exciting features, but let's pause for now.

    Copilot+ Laptops Launch Today: Here's Why You Should Wait

    Today marks a big splash in the PC market with Microsoft’s release of their much-awaited Copilot+ laptops, including their new Surface and Surface Pro. These machines are staking a statement as the new rivals of the MacBook Air, deliver strong performance and longer battery life. However, despite a lot of hype, there are some factors to consider before you rush to your nearest retailer and I’ll say you shouldn’t go for purchase right now.

    No Reviews? That’s a Red Flag

    Let’s be real—no product should be judged on hype alone. Normally, new tech products launch alongside reviews from independent tech experts, providing a range of opinions and tests that help you make the right decision and not be unhappy with your investment. But that’s not the case with the Copilot+ launch. Due to a delay in distributing review models, thanks to some controversy over its AI features, these laptops are hitting the shelves untested by independent voices. As much as I enjoy sharing my thoughts, the true value of reviews comes from the collective insights of the tech community. Without these, you’re essentially buying blind.

    All that Glitters is Not Gold

    These laptops seem to make sense when you look at the balance and spec sheets: all of them use Snapdragon X chipsets and more or less behave the same (give or take the ever-dodgy issue of both performance and battery life) versus all of the older Intel-powered laptops. What remains to be seen, however, is how it performs in real life or so that they would perform astoundingly fast on Microsoft’s new Prism emulator that promises to greatly speed up uncompiled apps running through the Arm architecture. Microsoft is making some huge claims that we have no choice but to take it with a grain of salt until proven through rigorous testing.

    The AI Concerns

    However, the most hyped feature – Recall, through which these PCs were to be able to remember natural language entered on computers to present a “photographic memory” – has already run into a big hurdle. As a result of recent changes, Microsoft has removed this part of the rollout in the initial release due to security and usability issues. That pivot affects not only the selling point of these PCs but also makes one wonder how else the hardware or software may be compromised or just not fully baked.

    This could be a dealbreaker to those who are especially interested in the Copilot+ for the next-generation AI potential or at least a reason to consider waiting on making a purchase. Microsoft has been forced to recant and adjust; it’s hardly a great look when this is supposedly such a groundbreaking laptop launch.

    Wait It Out

    That said, there’s a lot to be excited about with these new devices, and I’m as interested as anyone put them through their paces—if it’s possible ahead. There’s clearly a lot of game-changer potential here for the laptop market, but jumping into mixed waters without the full picture could be a mistake. My advice? Give it a bit of time. This is still just a hint, though – we’d wait for the reviews to come in, watch Microsoft addressing early issues, and only then see whether the Copilot+ is all it’s cracked up to be. In the end, it is better to be safe than sorry because we are talking about a lot of money invested into some tech.
