After Lenovo released the X13s with Snapdragon ARM CPU, I was wondering how the Linux experience might be so far. Did anyone give it a try already?

    Just out of curiosity, what would you hope toget out of the arm CPU? More battery life or better performance for certain tasks?

      Mostly looking for a good performance per watt ratio. I am interested in this one particularly because of the fanless design and low weight (Starting at 1.06kg / 2.35lbs).

    All I see is Windows 11 Home or Pro?

    Edit: Oh I see, I thought you meant they would be purchased with Linux preinstalled.

      My question was more about compatibility. Preinstalled Linux is not a must, but would love to know if there are any blockers (bootloader, drivers, etc.).

        Gotcha. Different machine and price point, but I’m happy with my X1 Carbon. Battery live is 8-10 hours under light use with screen brightness turned up.
