Performance/specs-wise, I haven't looked in-depth, but seems they compete more with iPads/other tablets + keyboard cases than with Macbook Pros/x86 options in that class and price point though? Thanks though, seems promising. I've been interested in Asahi since I first saw it here, but I can't help wondering if long-term the better buy might not be a ThinkPad, Framework or whatever that only ever expected (Windows or) Linux. (The Framework has probably been enough to quash the draw of Mac hardware/build quality but Linux for me.)

Performance sucks comprared to the m1 :)

I use it for dev so I don’t care. Don’t expect to train any models with it.

It’s very snappy for media consumption though, no issues at all there (if you stick to ARM native apps).
