The new Acer TravelMate P6 14 AI laptop is a Copilot+ PC, which uses Microsoft’s AI platform launched earlier this year. Copilot builds on Microsoft’s partnership with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT.
The lightweight (2.6 lbs) laptop’s new AI features will help users bring their ideas to life by taking descriptions and generating new images in nearly real-time. For instance, Live Captions can translate spoken words from 44 languages and present English speech captions in real-time, whether a live video, movie dialogue, or YouTube clip.
Windows Studio Effects has AI-boosted features such as Background Blur, Eye Contact, Automatic Framing, Portrait Light, and Creative Filters to improve lighting and make users look their best in virtual meetings, live streams, or video calls.
These AI features can be accessed with the dedicated Copilot key. The TravelMate P6 14 AI will receive free updates to Copilot+ PC experiences later this year.
