It seems that we're not getting anything close to the M1. I'll stick to second-hand thinkpads for now, but I'd really like to have a thinkpad with some ARM resembling M1. We had a good shot with frame.work but it seems nobody is going to make other boards nor are keyboards really replaceable with thinkpad-like keyboards, so the swappable parts concept falls very short for now.

I agree that X13s looks underpowered comparing to Apple's laptops, but from my understanding of reviews - it's working machine, not a proof of concept of WoA style gimmick

  Qualcomm claim they are releasing a CPU that is comparable to the M1/2 lineup next year. The X13s can run Linux fairly well right now, so it's promising. IMHO, ARM CPUs are going to eat the low and mid-end laptop market due to their energy-saving advantage.

    I'll believe it when I see it. Qualcomm is woefully behind Apple in mobile chips (so far...)
