Industry-leading battery life
The typical school day is anything but typical. Between commuting, classes, extracurricular activities and extended studies, PCs with Snapdragon X series deliver multi-day battery life, with many achieving 20-28 hours of use between charges.1

Keeping student data private
Institutions have a responsibility to keep student data secure, and Cloud-AI tools can represent a threat to that privacy. Once uploaded to the cloud, institutions may not be able to control what happens to that data, and if its use violates local privacy laws. Installing language models on a Copilot+ PC, powered by Snapdragon X Series Processors allows educators to install approved language models on their device, analyzing data without any information ever leaving the local PC.

Performance unplugged
Faculty and students are constantly moving between classes, and often don’t enjoy access to docking stations and power outlets. PCs with Snapdragon X Series deliver exceptional performance while on battery, often achieving benchmark scores of up to 90% faster than other processors when unplugged from the wall.2

Giving time back to faculty
Technology has always promised to save teachers time, but Copilot+ PCs, powered by Snapdragon X Series Processors, can make that a reality. Tools such as Microsoft Project Spark introduce Edge-AI tools from such organizations as OpenStax, NASA and Kahoot! help teachers create unique instructional content in seconds that might otherwise take hours.

Reducing language barriers
Whether trying to connect classrooms across the globe, or facilitate a more authentic discussion with a parent of a student whose native language may differ, Copilot+ PCs, powered by Snapdragon X Series Processors, make communication easier. Live Captions will transcribe speech and covert the captions to English from over 40 different languages.

Accessing emerging AI technology
Cloud AI tools may seem readily available, but costs to pay for the cloud services are often more than institutions can afford. PCs capable of running language models locally help democratize access to AI. From creative arts to code generation, more software companies are introducing applications to take full advantage of the AI power inside Copilot+ PCs, powered by Snapdragon X Series Processors.
