Minisforum AI X1 Pro & other AIs not Co-pilot

[ed]

Great question — and yes, I can definitely clarify. The statement about it only featuring Microsoft Co-Pilot out of the box refers mainly to the system’s default integration within Windows (e.g. the Co-Pilot button, Microsoft ecosystem features, etc.). But you can absolutely still run other AI tools like ChatGPT (via web or desktop apps), DeepSeek, Grok, or even local LLMs — as long as you're using platforms that support Windows or Linux.

So no, it’s not locked down to Co-Pilot — it just doesn’t come preloaded or optimized for those alternatives by default. You’re free to use any AI tools you want, and many users set up their own workflows with local models or browser-based tools.
