You might want to look at the Lenovo X13s Snapdragon [1]. People have, with some unofficial engagement from Lenovo's Linux technical lead, gotten Linux running on it [2][3]. It is basically a laptop version of the Microsoft ARM Developer Kit, and was released early this year.

Yes I looked at that but the software support is not there yet.

Also for the price the performance you get is questionable at best even compared to a m1.

I'm also a burned child by the build quality in the last years by lenovo. My t480s was at best good. But not as good as a macbook or a asus zenbook

Yeah, the performance of the 8cx Gen3 is more compelling in a $600 box than a $1200 laptop, agreed. Would also like to see something with full, official Linux support that's at least M1 class.

I would like to see something that is as fast as the M1 (Right now I'm on an M1 Max).

I also hope that Frame.work will release some day a good laptop with an good ARM chip.

But I think this is like 3 years away.

How does the 8cx Gen 3 compare to the M2/M1 Pro/M1 Max? (this is a rhetorical question)

[easygenes]

Not rhetorical answer: It's about 2/3 as fast as M1.
