I was just reading up on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite CPU. This thing is faster than Apple M2 Pro while using ~30% less power (23W i think).

Reason for this post is....

Who here would like an ARM Framework laptop to rival Apple's? Rumours are, the big laptop players are already preparing.

I know the M3 is on the way, but that's in H1 2024.

I assume that once the market for ARM has matured (if it does), FW will offer a mainboard that is competitive and functional, just like they did with AMD. That will be perfect cause I can upgrade then (Batch 8 FTW)! On the software side, ARM has a long way to go, but I think MS is going to pivot to supporting ARM better since M-series is currently running laps around intel at least.
