MICROSOFT COPILOT

Windows 11 may provide access to Microsoft Copilot where supported by the installed software and Microsoft account.

This laptop should not be advertised as a Copilot+ PC. The Intel Core i5-8250U platform does not have the required 40+ TOPS NPU for Copilot+ PC features. Microsoft lists requirements including a supported NPU, 16GB RAM, 256GB storage and Windows 11 24H2 or later.

Features such as Recall, Automatic Super Resolution and the full range of Windows Studio Effects should therefore not be advertised as available on this laptop. Microsoft specifies dedicated NPU requirements for these features.

TRADE IN & UPGRADE

This is not a straight-swap service. The replacement product must cost more than the approved trade-in value, and the remaining balance must be paid.
