Why Copilot+ PCs and Windows 11 are built for eLearning

Remote learning is more than a backup plan—it’s how millions of students learn every day. Whether it’s virtual lectures, group projects, or juggling assignments across multiple apps, students need more than just “good enough” tech. They need speed, simplicity, and tools that work the way schools work today.

That’s where Copilot+ PCs come in. These next-gen devices combine powerful Windows 11 education features with built-in AI tools and game-changing performance. They’re up to 47% faster than the latest MacBook Air with M31, and five times faster than older Windows laptops2 still used in many schools. That means no lag—even with multiple tabs, video calls, or high-performance games running in the background.

Smart tech with serious brainpower

Here’s where things really start to shine: Copilot+ PCs are powered by high-performance neural processing units (NPUs) that can crank out over 40 trillion operations per second. That’s serious AI power—built to keep up with the speed of learning.

But it’s not just about performance. These devices are engineered for endurance, too. With up to 22 hours of video playback and 15 hours of web browsing, students can power through a full day of classes, homework, and even some well-earned downtime—all on a single charge.3

From real-time language translation to instant note summaries and creative content generation, Copilot+ PCs are built to help students stay focused, productive, and ahead of the curve—wherever learning takes them.

Built-in brilliance: Windows 11 tools and features for remote learning

Whether it’s a pre-dawn lecture or a late-night study jam, students need a workspace that’s as adaptable as they are. Windows 11 delivers with intuitive features that transform any Copilot+ PC into a fully equipped, distraction-busting, multitasking powerhouse:

  • Snap layouts: Keeps apps and docs exactly where students need them—right on the same screen. With Snap layouts, students can arrange class notes, video calls, and research side-by-side in seconds—so multitasking feels organized, not overwhelming.
  • Microsoft Teams integration: Need to hop into a virtual class or collaborate on a group project? Teams is built right in, making communication seamless without the tech headaches.
  • Virtual desktops: Create dedicated spaces for studying, creating, or decompressing—so focus stays sharp and boundaries stay clear.

Together, these Windows 11 education features support the pace and complexity of remote learning—helping students stay in control, no matter where learning happens.

Plug into any classroom: App-friendly and ready for anything

Windows 11 plays well with others. Whether students are using Microsoft 365 or a dozen other platforms, everything integrates seamlessly. No frustrating workarounds or awkward switching between devices—just clean, reliable access to the tools students and teachers already know and love.

Whether it’s writing a paper, editing a podcast, or diving into a virtual lab, Copilot+ PCs keep students connected, productive, and in the flow.

Accessible, flexible learning for all

Every student learns differently—and with Copilot+ PCs and Windows 11, that’s not just accepted, it’s supported. These devices are packed with built-in accessibility features that help students learn, create, and connect in ways that work best for them.

  • Live captions: Go beyond subtitles. This feature turns any audio—whether from a live stream, video call, or pre-recorded content—into real-time English captions. It can even translate from 44 different languages, helping more students follow along and stay engaged.4
  • Voice access: For students with mobility challenges or those who simply prefer to speak rather than type, Voice access offers a hands-free way to control their PC. With simple, natural commands like “open Word,” “click on the first link,” or “bold the last sentence,” students can navigate, write, and interact—without ever lifting a finger.
  • Narrator: Windows 11 also includes Narrator, a screen reader that now uses natural, human-like voices powered by AI to read text aloud.5 When combined with Voice access, it creates a seamless, voice-driven experience—making it even easier for students to stay focused and in control.

In today’s digital classrooms, accessibility isn’t extra—it’s essential.

All the time, online school safety

Online security needs to be both seamless and strong. Copilot+ PCs with Windows 11 deliver built-in protection that helps keep students safe without ever slowing them down. Features include:

  • Smart App Control: Powered by AI, Smart App Control proactively analyzes and blocks untrusted or potentially harmful apps before they can run.6 It works quietly in the background, helping students steer clear of risky downloads so they can stay focused on learning—not on tech issues.
  • Windows Hello: With facial recognition or fingerprint sign-in,7 students can unlock their devices instantly—no passwords to forget, no barriers to getting started.

From the moment students log on, these intelligent security features work together to help create a trusted learning environment.

Built for what’s next in education

Copilot+ PCs with Windows 11 don’t just support modern education—they’re built to drive it forward. Designed for hybrid classrooms, remote learning, and always-connected students, these devices bring together power, AI smarts, and flexibility in one seamless experience. See how Copilot+ PCs with Windows 11 can elevate your school’s digital learning journey—today and tomorrow.
