    Who the heck designs a laptop with an ARM core? Nothing against ARM, they are my bread and butter on the job. But whatever you do, choose the right tools for the right job.

      I’m not an Apple fanboy, but arm based processors seem to be working out fairly well for them.

      I own an Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x, which was one of the OG snapdragon x laptops released a (two?) and a half ago. It took a while for folks to get Linux to run on them and there’s enough of a barrier to entry that it’s still not very common. Most of the initial hurdles were due to Qualcomm bootloader shenanigans.
