If Linus wants to have an Arm laptop to run Linux, I wonder why didn’t he consider a Chromebook.

  Chromebooks are often a nice, relatively inexpensive and hackable x86 or arm device, but there's nothing that interesting about their hardware other than not so locked down (there's dev mode allowing anything and you can overwrite the firmware even). The new apple arm has fascinatingly good performance, and long battery life and the Air has no fan, so there's a lot to like there.

  They're not good for compiling the kernel on a regular basis
