It’s just a TPU, wait some years and it will be a common feature of all SOCs. Now it’s a new thing, so marketing department can name it “copilot Pc”
The windows side software bullshit is optional. You don’t have to start that program ever, I’m sure you can reprogram that extra button even on windows.
I guess it will be the same Elite X chip already available in some other laptops. Ubuntu already have some builds for some of these pcs, some of them are usable, and they are working with qualcomm to upstream the missing drivers: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-24-10-conceptsnapdragon-x-elite/48800
I’m interested in these laptops, and I hope linux support will become usable soon, the 24 hour battery life sounds unbelievable.
