TBH if they make it have performance parity with 10 y.o. Intel laptop — I would be perfectly fine with it. It even looks nearly identical to the old HP ProBook I use now — when I'm not using something even older that is 😂
Looks like there would be lots of ARM-based laptops coming with this Snapdragon X SoC, for example: https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-on-ARM-is-coming.tuxedo
Plenty of competition in the alternative architecture department 👍
