Both devices are designed to run AI models locally and for free, combining CPU, GPU, unified memory and enhanced cooling to handle on-device workloads.

They run a revamped version of Windows 11 featuring Execution Containers, which Microsoft said makes it easier to sandbox AI agents.
## CEO Satya Nadella on AI agents
CEO Satya Nadella said the feature will reach all Windows 11 users, explaining that models alone achieve little without orchestration, external memory and a harness layer combining multiple models, context and actions.
