As early as the Toshiba AC100 there were usable ARM laptops on Linux. Nowadays, you can spend $99 and get a fully-supported ARM Pinebook if you fancy. Or check out the MNT Reform, ClockworkPi systems, Snapdragon laptops, Nintendo Switch, the list goes on. There are dozens of better-supported mobile ARM platforms, if you specifically want Linux on ARM.
- runjake 3y agoI am aware that ARM is well-supported on Linux. However, the OP was asking about ARM laptops with at least half the performance of the M1 and long battery life. The 13-year old AC100 and Pinebook don't meet the ops' specs of half the performance of the M1 and great battery life. Nor would any of the other examples you list. The MNT Reform looks neat, but I doubt the performance and battery will meet OP's specs. Nonetheless, pretty neat. The Nintendo Switch isn't a laptop.
