Typically, anytime you introduce powerful innovation into modern computing and electronics, there’s a trade-off somewhere. For example, the more power and performance you tuck into a laptop for gaming or otherwise, the shorter the battery life. All that extra power uses up more battery, so you need to stay close to an outlet or power source. But the opposite is also true; if you want to improve battery life and boost portability, you have to tone down some of that power. The problem is with modern applications, like when you’re taking advantage of AI tools and solutions, you need everything you can get. The new Copilot+ PCs from Dell, powered by SnapdragonⓇ X Series processors, solve that by giving you absolutely everything. It’s the ultimate power convergence.
The Snapdragon X processors are lightning-fast for “game-changing” performance, but they’re also super efficient, allowing for groundbreaking battery life. They are complemented by dedicated NPUs, which provide instant access to powerful on-device AI through Copilot+. But that’s not all. They also have built-in security hardware and software to better protect your system, privacy, and data. Performance, power, efficiency, portability, and intelligent security. That sure sounds like the ultimate power convergence to me.
Thanks to the onboard AI, you don’t need internet access to take advantage of the new Copilot+ solutions that help you accelerate your productivity and reclaim your time. Retrace your steps and recover backups through Recall. Sketch, create, and blend with Cocreator in Paint, which can help you bring your vision to life in a fraction of the time.

Dell offers a variety of Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs, including the XPS 13, Inspiron 14 Plus, and Latitude 7455.
The Dell XPS 13 is an excellent all-purpose Windows Copilot+ PC that can be customized in various configurations. It features up to 64GB of RAM, a 2TB solid-state drive, and varying color schemes. For power, it offers the Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100 12-core processor with an integrated NPU for the AI functions. A Qualcomm Adreno GPU offers added video power, plus the 13-inch display up to a 3K OLED offers glorious visuals. The XPS is great for content creation and even some light work or schoolwork. A major highlight, of course, is the impressive 27 hours of battery life, which Dell claims is the longest out of any Snapdragon PC on the market.
Dell’s first Windows 11 ARM PC, with Copilot+ and powerful on-device AI, the Latitude 14, was built for speed and efficiency. Not only does it make everyday use more convenient, but also it can handle pretty much any workload you throw at it. Hardware features include a 512GB solid-state drive, 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and stereo speakers with Qualcomm Aqstic Speaker Max technology. Dual cameras ensure your video calls are always crystal clear, so you’ll look your best on business calls — it has a 1080p FHD RGB camera and a 720p IR camera, both at 30 frames per second. Moreover, with Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Studio Effects, you can eliminate distractions and keep the focus on the most important part: you. It’s capable of over 22 hours of playback on a single charge, too, which doesn’t hurt.
Also customizable, which is one thing we love about Dell’s PCs, you get a choice between a Snapdragon X Elite X1P-78-100 12-Core or X Plus X1P-64-100 10-Core system with plenty of RAM, a Qualcomm Adreno GPU, and plenty of storage. A 14-inch QHD+ display with touchscreen support makes getting around the UI super easy, and, like all the others here, it’s a Windows Copilot+ PC. The Inspiron is excellent for casual browsing, light content creation, productivity-focused tasks, media and entertainment, especially with its Quad speakers.
Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.
How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?
According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
