   I think a lot of people don't realize the level of performance Qualcomm has reached with these. This is the closest competition to Apple's M series that we have, for the laptop form factor at least. They are better than Intel and AMD's best. I'd love to buy an X2 laptop with Linux preinstalled and supported.

      A lot of people do see the graphs. But reality is - unless they cooperate with lkml and merge it there is no point. Ubuntu has the only beta ISO for it - works not very good for the Lenovo. Qualcomm does not provide any support. Then people won't buy.

         They'd still have the >99% or so of their customers who prefer Windows or will put up with it for the smartphone-grade battery life.

            Are you sure? Snapdragon laptops have worst sales in Windows world. Or are you a MS ARM guy?
