Microsoft has made significant changes to its Copilot feature on the new Copilot Plus PCs. The Copilot key on these new devices now launches a web app, rather than integrating directly into Windows settings as it previously did. This change has been met with criticism as it reduces the utility of Copilot. Additionally, Microsoft has killed the Win + C shortcut to promote the dedicated Copilot key, aiming to drive PC sales. The first Copilot+ PCs, including models like the Microsoft Surface Laptop, HP EliteBook, and Latitude 7455, are powered by Snapdragon chips. These changes come amid the launch of Snapdragon-powered laptops showcased at COMPUTEX 2024. The new Copilot web app is similar to Gemini on Chromebooks.
