the Copilot Plus PC died the way it lived: quietly renamed in a blog post nobody read

Microsoft Is Killing Off the 'Copilot Plus PC' Brand

Microsoft has quietly dropped the "Copilot Plus PC" branding just two and a half years after launching it. Windows Central's Zac Bowden reported that the new 12-inch Surface Pro and 13-inch Surface Laptop meet the required system specs but are no longer marketed under the name; Surface CVP Brett Ostrom said flatly, "These are not called Copilot Plus PCs." Qualcomm SVP Kedar Kondap also signalled the brand's retreat. The label was introduced by CEO Satya Nadella as the badge for PCs with enough built-in AI hardware to run on-device features.
