Microsoft discontinues 'Copilot+ PC' branding for new Windows devices
Microsoft is reportedly discontinuing the "Copilot+ PC" branding for its new Windows 11 devices, including its latest Surface laptops. This move comes quietly, with the branding notably absent from recent product announcements and marketing materials. While the specific "Copilot+ PC" label is being phased out, the underlying AI features and capabilities associated with these devices are expected to remain. The change suggests a shift in Microsoft's marketing strategy, potentially due to a lack of adoption by OEMs or a desire for a more streamlined approach. Several outlets note that the branding was introduced relatively recently, with some stating it was around for two to two and a half years. Microsoft has not provided an official explanation for the change, leaving the exact reasons open to speculation.
