They already exists. They're called Chromebooks ๐Ÿคฃ

Also a Linux user. The biggest advantage of having an arm cpu on par to the M2 would be power consumption. I am pretty much forced to be on a MacBook at work for software development and I am blown away at the longevity of the battery. I want to install Linux on my macbook so bad and run some c/c++ compilation and runtime benchmark with some of my projects. Unfortunately that could get me in trouble ๐Ÿ˜”

I don't consider Chromebooks to be real computers... They're tablets with a OS designed for using a keyboard and touchpad. I say that as someone who used to work for a school and repaired laterally hundreds of chromebooks. Everything about chromebooks has more in similarity with a decent tablet than it does a computer.
