Hey there, Snapdragon Insiders! Welcome to the latest installment of "Behind the Silicon: Retail Aisles of Innovation." With Microsoft Copilot+ PCs powered exclusively today by Snapdragon® X Series processors now on store shelves, in Episode 4, host Lucy Hedges (@lucyhedges on Instagram and X) and fellow Snapdragon Insiders set out to get their hands on these cutting-edge machines from Currys in the UK to Best Buy in the US.

 

Exploring the options in the UK

At Currys, the options are manifold. From HP and Samsung to Lenovo and Microsoft Surface, there's a Copilot+ PC for every need. Whether you require exceptional battery life, powerful performance for video editing, or a sleek, portable design, laptops with Snapdragon X Series deliver it all.

Laptops with Snapdragon X Series are defined by speed, power efficiency, and AI capabilities. The HP OmniBook X offers an impressive 26-hour battery life for those who are always on the move, and creatives will love the Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge's stunning AMOLED 2x display and DaVinci Resolve integration.

 

Exploring the options in the US

In the US, Best Buy showcased an equally impressive lineup of Copilot+ PCs, featuring brands like Samsung, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface, and ASUS. Multi-day battery life, portability, and AI tools that enhance productivity and creativity are vital features customers look for in a new laptop, and every one of our partners delivers.

 

Reflecting on the journey (so far)

From announcing our compute plans at last year's Snapdragon Summit in Maui to the excitement of unboxing the laptops, the journey with Copilot+ PCs has been incredible. The responsiveness and power of these devices have exceeded expectations, streamlining workflows and enhancing creativity.

Laptops with Snapdragon are built for a new age of computing, offering a comprehensive package catering to diverse needs.
