Copilot Plus PCs are getting a big upgrade to catch up to Macs

A musician shows off a Cubase digital audio workstation setup running natively on a Snapdragon X Elite-powered Copilot Plus laptop.

WAILEA, Hawaii — Musicians who use digital instruments to create, mix and produce music must feel like they have to turn to Macs by default, and for good reason. Macs offer extensive support for everything from digital audio work stations to MIDI support for instruments.

Qualcomm and Microsoft, which have teamed up to build Copilot Plus PCs powered by the Snapdragon X Elite platform, want to claim their own place on the stage. "We want Copilot Plus PCs to be the place for podcasters, musicians to record and perform," said Alex Katouzian, Qualcomm's general manager for mobile, compute and XR, during the company's Snapdragon Summit this week.
