 **How Copilot+ PCs help:**
 
-- The NPU handles AI tasks like text summarization and content suggestions directly on the device — no internet connection required for on-device AI features.
-- Extended battery life (up to 22 hours of streaming video) means working through a full travel day without searching for an outlet.
-- Fluid Dictation lets the consultant draft follow-up notes using voice input, with real-time corrections — useful in a cab or airport lounge.

 ## How on-device AI changes the computing model
 
-Traditionally, AI processing has relied on cloud-based services — sending data to a remote server, processing it there, and returning the results. This approach works well for many scenarios, but it introduces latency, requires an internet connection, and means sensitive data leaves the device.
+Traditionally, AI processing has relied on cloud-based services—sending data to a remote server, processing it there, and returning the results. This approach works well for many scenarios, but it introduces latency, requires an internet connection, and means sensitive data leaves the device.
 
-The NPU in Copilot+ PCs enables a different model: **on-device AI processing**. With an NPU capable of 40+ TOPS, many AI tasks can run locally — directly on the hardware —without sending data to the cloud. In many real-world workflows, AI processing happens in a hybrid model. Some tasks run locally on the device using the NPU for speed, privacy, or offline access, while more complex requests rely on cloud-based AI services. Copilot+ PCs are designed to support this approach by balancing on-device intelligence with cloud processing as needed.

 | Processing model | How it works | Best suited for |

 | **On-device AI** | Data is processed locally on the NPU without leaving the device | Low-latency tasks, offline scenarios, privacy-sensitive workloads, real-time features like captions and video effects |
