It'd be interesting to see some market survey data showing the number of AI laptops sold & the number of users that actively use the acceleration capabilities for any task, even once.

I'm not sure I've ever heard of a single task that comes built into the system and uses the NPU.
Remove background from an image. Summarize some text. OCR to select text or click links in a screenshot. Relighting and centering you in your webcam. Semantic search for images and files.

A lot of that is in the first party Mac and Windows apps.

Selecting text in a photo is a game changer. I love it.
Wasn’t built in OCR an amazing feature?

We probably could have done it years earlier. But when it showed up… wow.
