Are AI NPU PC's worth the extra cost?

Discussion

I was sent an ARM based NPU laptop to test out, and have been less than impressed. The AI features are great, but the ARM CPU is a big obstacle for running many applications - apps have to be rewritten for ARM architecture.

The built-in NPU seems to work well with Microsoft Copilot (personal, not business), accelerating the AI computations by a decent amount.

I'm curious to everyone's thoughts here.
