Asahi is far from complete, missing lots of drivers and with other sharp corners, but it's been a better experience than I've had with most x86 laptops I've tried. What works works, the machine is stable, fast (even for some graphical applications despite the lack of GPU drivers!) and the battery life is great. Apparently you can run some form of BSD on it as well but I have no idea how far the support is. > Thus, if you’re looking for an x86 machine, you’re not buying an Apple product. Perhaps, but I don't think a lot of people out there actually care about the underlying architecture unless they're developing architecture-specific stuff.
