Earlier this year, Microsoft teased that "AI [would] be seamlessly woven into Windows from the system, to the silicon, to the hardware" and plainly stated that 2024 would be "the year of the AI PC." According to Windows Central via industry sources, AI PCs are indeed on the way from all major OEMs this year, but Snapdragon X Elite laptops may be the first AI PCs, receiving the AI-heavy Windows 11 24H2 update a few months before others.
Unlike the initial Windows 11 launch, the 24H2 update will roll out in two waves. The first wave will launch only on Snapdragon X Series Arm-based hardware in June, missing a few next-gen AI features, while the second wave will roll out fully-featured in September for all compatible PCs.
