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

When will Copilot++ be introduced?

Did they remove the Copilot button from the keyboard? It is one of the most annoying things. Accidentally pressing the button opens the Copilot window which you then have to manually close. There is no way to configure the button to do nothing. Not without installing apps just for that purpose. So annoying.

When people say they use copilot, I no longer have any idea which copilot they're talking about. Most of the time, neither do they.
