CoPilot+ PCs won’t run various apps and games at launch — what you need to know

Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge AI.

Well, this could have gone more smoothly. This week the likes of Asus, Dell, Lenovo and Microsoft released a bunch of Copilot+ PC laptops. These new machines are the first to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus chipsets, using Windows 11 Arm-based architecture and deploying up to 40 to 45 TOPs in their NPUs (neural processing units) to assist with advanced AI tasks, like Windows Studio Effects.

But you shouldn't expect to run certain apps and games, and Samsung has revealed which ones won't work with its new Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge AI laptop, which should also apply to other CoPilot+ PCs. The compatibility notice (first reported by The Wall Street Journal), states that many security programs, various Adobe software and even apps like Google Drive won’t currently run on Samsung's new Copilot+ PC laptop.
