Technology giant Microsoft unveiled CES, bringing a number of surprises。

Artificial intelligence computers become the focus

On January 4, Microsoft announced the launch of a new Copilot key for Windows 11 computers, a move that will seamlessly integrate artificial intelligence from systems, chips to hardware into Windows。

The launch of the Copilot key marks the first major change to the Windows PC keyboard in nearly three decades。The last major change was Microsoft's introduction of the Windows key in PC keyboards, enabling people around the world to interact with Windows.。Microsoft now sees the Copilot key as an entry point into the world of artificial intelligence on the PC。

From the screen released by Microsoft, the Copilot key will be next to the Alt key。Microsoft said that when the key is pressed, the Copilot intelligent assistant function in Windows will be called, allowing Copilot to seamlessly participate in the user's daily work。

Pavan Davuluri, corporate vice president for Windows and devices at Microsoft, said: "Copilot is the signature experience of an AI PC."。

Microsoft said that during the CES show, including Intel, Dell and other PC manufacturers launched the new Windows 11 computer will be able to see the newly added Copilot key。

Jim Johnson, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's customer business unit, said Copilot will become an artificial intelligence companion for users in their daily work and life.。

New Generation Windows 11 Gaming Notebook

During CES, Microsoft announced that a number of partners will showcase the new generation of Windows 11 gaming notebooks.。

Microsoft also provides a "PC list"。Each computer on the list will be able to run the latest games, including those on PC Game Pass, and users will be able to immediately enter the platform's games to start playing when they turn on a new computer.。

Notebooks on the "PC list" include Acer's new Predator Helios 18 laptop, Asus's new ROG Zephyrus G16, Dell's m16 R2 laptop, HP's Omen Transcend 14 and 16 gaming laptops, Lenovo's Lenovo Legion 7i, MSI's Titan 18 HX, Razer's new Razer Blade 14 and 16, and more。

Microsoft said the new computers will all come with at least one month of free Xbox Game Pass Ultimate usage, during which time players will be able to access hundreds of high-quality PCs, consoles and cloud games.。

In addition, at CES, Microsoft also showed a series of results with retail giant Wal-Mart.。

Based on a series of large language models such as Microsoft's "Azure OpenAI," a new generative artificial intelligence search function has been built on iOS, Android and their own websites.。

Last summer, Walmart began working with Microsoft to launch a new "My Assistant" application within the company.。Walmart is built with Walmart's proprietary data, technology and big language models in Microsoft Azure OpenAI services。In just a few months, the app has already had a huge impact on employees, helping them with a range of tasks, from summarising long documents to helping create new content.。
