On-device AI features aren't that useful for consumers yet, but long battery life is.

    Copilot+ is a reason not to buy one of those laptops. It’s a privacy and security nightmare.

      Pretending it’s not locked down like the og surface arm devices, I’d consider getting one and totally drop some flavour of linux on it, 3:2 is a great aspect ratio for laptops.

      Otherwise yeah, I wouldn’t go anywhere near it

      Edit: apparently I don’t need to pretend, this hasn’t been an issue for a while so that’s actually great

          Yeah, I assumed so, really dislike that you can’t do what you want with hardware you own.

          Edit: apparently not locked down, which is great

        It is not bootloader locked, Linux support is WIP
