Much of what Microsoft revealed on Monday was already known through unverified leaks. The first batch of Copilot+ PCs are powered by Qualcomm processors and not Intel or AMD silicon. These will come later this year though. As far as requirements are concerned, these match the leaks: at least 16GB of RAM. at least 256GB SSD storage. Integrated NPU. No word on the Copilot key requirement…

To improve my mental well-being, I meditate, write morning pages, and keep a gratitude journal. However, as helpful as these techniques are, they primarily rely on introspection.
