I play with ARM in the Day Jobs but the full laptop form-factor is really appealing

  Depends on the use-case. In general, most reasonable ARM64 machines are not yet value competitive with the same priced intel+Nvidia_GPU laptops. Application support (MacOS or Win11 on ARM) is usually what hits hard in edge-cases people take for granted as working most of the time. Best of luck, =)

    Linux is my DD on Wintel (AlderLake); IIRC (K)Ubuntu have those same packages in ARMv8 (and gcc for the rest) so it should 99% be the same for me.

      On debian linux distros you will find most, but not all common amd64 packages can be found/built for aarch64. The porting issues are not as spotty as a few years back, but one should check your use-case won't be hit with 3D/codec issues or missing services. Recall qemu does ARM64 just fine... =3
