Copilot PCs with Windows 11 are designed to match how students actually learn today—across virtual classes, group projects, and multiple apps at once. From a performance standpoint, they offer a noticeable step up: - Up to **47% faster** than the latest MacBook Air with M3 (based on Procyon AI benchmark) - Up to **5x faster** than many older Windows laptops still in use in schools (based on Cinebench 24 Multi-Core benchmark) This means students can run multiple browser tabs, video calls, and even demanding apps or games in the background with less lag and fewer disruptions. Copilot PCs also include high-performance **neural processing units (NPUs)** capable of more than **40 trillion operations per second**. This AI capability supports tasks like real-time language translation, instant note summaries, and creative content generation—helping students stay focused and productive. Battery life is another practical benefit. Depending on the device, students can get up to **22 hours of video playback** and **15 hours of web browsing** on a single charge, which helps them get through a full day of classes, homework, and downtime without constantly searching for an outlet. Combined with built-in Windows 11 education features, Copilot PCs give schools a way to modernize their digital learning environment while staying aligned with how students already work and collaborate.

Copilot PCs with Windows 11 are set up to make multitasking and remote collaboration feel more manageable for students. Key features include: - **Snap layouts**: Students can quickly arrange apps and documents side-by-side—for example, keeping class notes, a video lecture, and a research browser window visible at the same time. This helps them stay organized instead of constantly switching between windows. - **Microsoft Teams integration**: Teams is built into Windows 11, so joining virtual classes, messaging classmates, or collaborating on group projects is straightforward. Students can move from chat to video call to shared files without juggling multiple tools. - **Virtual desktops**: Students can create separate desktops for different tasks—one for classes, one for creative work, and one for personal use. This helps them keep focus and maintain clearer boundaries between schoolwork and downtime. Because Windows 11 works smoothly with Microsoft 365 and a wide range of third-party apps, students can write papers, edit media, or participate in virtual labs without awkward workarounds or device switching. The goal is to keep them in the flow of learning rather than troubleshooting technology.

Copilot PCs with Windows 11 are built to support a wide range of learning needs while maintaining a secure environment for students. Accessibility features include: - **Live captions**: Converts audio from live streams, video calls, or recorded content into real-time English captions. On Copilot PCs with Snapdragon X Series processors, it can translate subtitles from **40+ languages** into English, helping more students follow along and stay engaged. - **Voice access**: Allows students to control their PC using natural voice commands such as “open Word,” “click on the first link,” or “bold the last sentence.” This is helpful for students with mobility challenges or those who prefer speaking over typing. - **Narrator**: A built-in screen reader that uses more natural, AI-powered voices to read text aloud. When combined with Voice access, it supports a more seamless, voice-driven experience for students who benefit from audio feedback. On the security side, Copilot PCs with Windows 11 provide protection that runs quietly in the background: - **Smart App Control**: Uses AI to analyze and block untrusted or potentially harmful apps before they run, helping students avoid risky downloads. It requires the latest version of Windows 11 and a fresh system setup. - **Windows Hello**: Offers quick sign-in using facial recognition or fingerprint (where supported), reducing reliance on passwords and making it easier for students to get started securely. Together, these accessibility and security capabilities help schools create a more inclusive and trusted digital learning environment. Note that some features, languages, and availability may vary by device, Windows 11 version, and region (for example, certain features are currently available only in North America and Europe).
