Given the amount of amazing $500 Ryzen laptops, it's hard for me to think this is a huge win.
It also is just abominable how non PC compatible these systems are. I'm not talking about x86 vs arm: that's something we can work with, work through. These systems don't boot via ACPI, they're all carefully cobbled together special hardcode device driver setups (Device Tree on Linux). Some fraction of them are locked down so you can't even install another OS or run the GPU if you do.
I'm tired of the never ending Charlie Brown trying to kick the ARM football skit. It's nice to see a core that actually has ok performance after a decade+ of promises, but man, it's not cheap at all and it has so many colossal disadvantages.
