That's not true at all. There's plenty of ARM platforms out there, especially in the Linux world they've been around a long time (does the Raspberry PI ring any bells? Or Nvidia Jetson? Or Freescale iMX6? Or Beaglebone Black?). Of course, they don't have M1 performance, but best in class performance was not a condition in you statement.

You're right I should have said an arm laptop. Microsoft have (had?) one and that's pretty much it.
The Pinebook Pro is an ARM laptop designed for Linux:

It doesn't have the performance of a MacBook, but it's also just $220 (when it's back in stock).

There are some nice Chromebooks in that space
