Copilot Plus PCs are Windows systems but with a difference.

They run Windows on Arm ( Arm64) with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon chips, while Intel and AMD -configured laptops run Windows x86.

Chromebooks are primarily designed to run apps in the cloud, so they're stripped down to handle just the basics.

Copilot PCs are generally better-looking and come with brighter, more color-accurate OLED displays.

Copilot Plus PCs are more expensive than Chromebooks because they can do much more.

They’re cheaper than other Windows laptops, have longer battery lives, and can run most power-heavy apps.

But if you don’t need to manage data-stuffed spreadsheets or edit videos for a film class, a Chromebook will handle the basics just as well for much less.
