- The report finds that 73% know Copilot+ PCS, but only 33% consult AI as important purchase factors
- Many business buyers are more interested in Windows 11 support
- The price, the lack of cases of use and interoperability are also concerns
Although the PCs are increasingly available for both consumers and companies, it seems that companies are not yet hurry to buy them.
The new canalys data found around three quarters (73%) of B2B partners are conscious of co -cilot+ PCs between March and April 2025, but only one in three capacities considered important in purchasing decisions.
Despite the huge performance updates, companies still seem to prioritize Windows 11 updates and battery life on the exclusive features of Copilot+, particularly with the end of the life of Windows 10 on the horizon.
Copilot+ PCs does not seem to be taking off
Initially launched with Qualcomm Snapdragon X chips and then available with Intel Core Ultra 200V and AMD Risen AI 300 series, co -pilot+ PC are considered high -end devices with more than 40 NPUS tops for local the processing.
Canalys data show that almost one in four (23%) PCs sold worldwide in the last three months of 2024 was a PC of AI, however, this is a generalized term that means different things throughout the industry. For the Carsys, it means that the devices include a “chipset or block for work loads of the dedicated as an NPU”.
However, the senior context analyst Marie-Christine Pygott explained (through The registration) Only 9% of the 1.2 million PCs with AI capacity sent by European distributors in the second quarter of 2025 classified as co -pilot+ PC, meet the 40 tops requirements.
Pygott blamed the slow absorption of high prices, lack of cases of use and low perception of what a co -pilot+ PC is and what it can do. Some business clients have also been reluctant to move to Snapdragon chips based on ARM due to software compatibility problems.
However, things could be about to change, with a recent Dell survey that reveals that around three out of five (62%) IT decision makers would prefer a co -pilot+ PC on a regular PC.
Looking towards the future, Channelys expects 60% of the PCs sent in 2027 to have the capacity for AI, with 2025 potentially see them have a market share of 40%.
