This is taking a laptop CPU and stuffing it in a handheld. The laptop CPU already has the npu and removing it would require a new SKU which would cost money for special handling for packaging, new firmware, new drivers, and probably more costs I haven’t considered. You would save on the silicon but unless they have high volume, removing the npu is likely more expensive.
Try vanilla bean paste if you haven’t - its actually good unlike the extract. Extract tastes bad because of concentration of cheap vodka, and paste has more vanilla so there’s less vodka per volume.
