alt Hacker NewsI think a lot of people don't realize the level of performance Qualcomm has reached with these. This is the closest competition to Apple's M series that we have, for the laptop form factor at least. They are better than Intel and AMD's best. I'd love to buy an X2 laptop with Linux preinstalled and supported.

I want to believe. It's just that we've seen similar announcements in the past and then nothing come of them.
Couldn't agree more. I would LOVE a linux based laptop with the performance of the M series.
I'd buy one because I want a Lenovo Thinkpad with an onboard ethernet port and really good battery life for Linux.

Not very close at all, not even to the two-year-old model, it appears

I’m glad we’re finally getting more competitors to Intel/AMD.
Better for everyone. Apple gets lazy on top. And for those who don’t want a Mac, they should be able to have something great too. And since PC makers are far more willing to experiment with form factors, I’d like to see what they try.
