Watching this laptop buying guide by @SomeGadgetGuy after the recent announcement of Microsoft's Surface running on the new ARM chips from Qualcomm

Like him, I too am interested in all the new Laptops not only by Microsoft but the many OEMs (HP. Dell, Asus, Acer etc) that will hit the market in a short time, not for the AI features but for our usual day-to-day computing on devices that are now on a different architecture that will have long-lasting battery, run silently, and have plenty of performance for our tasks.

Also, looking into the chips themselves and what specs they're paired with the system RAM depending upon core counts, and performances
