You don't want a RISC-V laptop. Not yet, at least. It will take quite some doing before those compete with x86_64/arm laptops. Beautiful thing about Windows

Beautiful thing about Windows computers is that it's generally not too hard to make them into linux/BSD/etc computers. :)
Qualcomm [1] and some vendors [2][3] are making progress towards linux support though.

Yet, AMD's Zen 5 is projected to hit 8.84 points, making it the absolute integer performance champion in 2024 – 2025. I absolutely do not believe it. Until independent reviewers can test the new Ascalon processor, these numbers are just fantasy.
