    I know what an NPU is, but never understood what features having one in a laptop unlocked for me.

      MS required the NPU to run local language models and the models are used for various AI features like live captions.

        Thankfully some other programs ignore MS and do perfectly good live captions on the CPU, even if that CPU is over a decade old.
