These scores are calculated by AI based on the number of positive and negative mentions for each category.
| Category | Score | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Battery Life | N/A | None of the provided summaries mention battery life positively or negatively. |
| System Performance | +3 | Multiple sources highlight that Copilot+ PCs are "the most performant Windows PCs ever built," featuring advanced NPUs with 40+ TOPS enabling fast local AI processing; Windows Search improvements with 70% faster searches than Windows 10; AI features running locally reducing cloud dependency, enhancing speed; however, some user concerns about possible system performance impacts of AI overlays were hinted but no direct negative stated. |
| Hardware | +2 | Positive mentions include built-in NPUs for on-device AI, support from major OEMs (Lenovo, HP, Samsung), broad compatibility with Snapdragon, Intel Core Ultra 200V, AMD Ryzen AI 300 CPUs, and high-performance "Copilot+ hardware" enabling AI features. Negative notes are limited hardware support to specific CPUs, some features first limited to Snapdragon devices, and calls out of lack of NPU on some recent Intel Core Ultra 200 series processors. |
| Software | +4 | Many positive notes: Windows Recall AI improving search and productivity; Click to Do for text/image AI actions locally; improved Windows Search with natural language queries; opt-in AI features respecting user control; continual updates and privacy overhauls improving software; but also some mentions of gradual rollout and cautious deployment due to newness. No software crashes or instability reported. |
| Security | 0 | Mixed mentions: Positive points for Windows Hello biometric authentication securing access to Recall data, data stored locally and encrypted in virtual secure enclaves (VBS), opt-in by default, ability to uninstall Recall, ongoing privacy improvements based on feedback. Negative points are major privacy concerns initially due to storage of sensitive info like passwords, risk of data exposure if attacker gains access, security researcher warnings, and initial rushed rollout. |
| Privacy | -6 | Strong negative concerns dominate privacy: Recall captures extensive screenshots including sensitive data; early versions stored passwords in plain text; described as "privacy nightmare"; risk of unauthorized access if device compromised; content filtering still inconsistent; user concerns ongoing despite improvements; multiple delays and relaunches due to privacy concerns; privacy backlash over early designs; some users hesitant over AI data capture nature. |
| Reliability | N/A | No mentions found regarding system or app crashes, reliability issues, or stability problems. |
