At Compnow, we’re excited to share a powerful leap forward in computing from our partners at Microsoft. Through a new video series titled “Scratch the Surface”, Microsoft’s Chris Plumridge, Surface Global Black Belt, introduces the cutting-edge capabilities of Surface Copilot+ PCs and how they’re redefining the modern workplace.
These short videos offer a window into how on-device AI is transforming performance, privacy and productivity for professionals across industries.
In the first video, AI on the Edge, Chris explores how Surface Copilot+ PCs, powered by Snapdragon X Elite and Plus processors, are shifting AI from the cloud to the device itself.
This move to on-device AI processing brings faster performance, lower latency and significantly improved data privacy. Features like live captions, noise suppression and intelligent camera framing now run in real time, independent of internet connectivity. For mobile workers, educators and frontline teams, this means reliable, intelligent functionality wherever they are.
The second episode introduces Recall, one of the most talked-about features in the Copilot+ lineup.
Recall gives your Surface the power of photographic memory, allowing you to search your digital timeline with natural language prompts, even if you don’t remember exact file names or sources. All activity is processed locally, so your information stays on your device, protected and secure.
This is a game changer for users managing multiple projects, helping them return to critical content instantly without retracing steps.
Finally, in Windows AI Foundry, we get a look under the hood at the architecture making these advancements possible.
Windows AI Foundry is Microsoft’s framework for running AI workloads locally, optimised specifically for the powerful NPUs inside Copilot+ devices like Surface. This allows AI tools like summarisation, content generation and task assistance to function with unmatched speed and security.
Whether you’re operating in a privacy-conscious sector or simply want lightning fast responsiveness, Windows AI Foundry sets a new standard for what’s possible on a PC.
At Compnow, we help organisations harness the potential of AI-driven devices like Microsoft Surface. With on-device intelligence, enhanced security and performance tailored for today’s hybrid work environments, Surface Copilot+ PCs represent the next chapter in user-centric computing.
