I think its time we moved to Linux laptops for everyone. I do hope system76 gets its act together.

One surprising fact about the MS AMD effort was that it is based on a older gen Ryzen and not the shiny new(that seems to be capable enough to give a run for intel). I wonder why...

Aren't AMDs mobile.processors always a generation behind? Same is true for their desktop G processors (3200g 3400g). 12nm instead of 7.

At the moment AMD has no APUs on the 7nm Zen 2 package. This could be why MS went with the older Zen+

The Surface Pro X hardware looks great but the single reason why I would choose a Surface over an iPad/Pro is because it runs an OS where I can code using my usual toolchain.

I certainly hope they put WSL2 on the OS that runs the Surface Pro X.

Any reason why they wouldn't ? Ubuntu runs great on ARM as far as I know.

Despite the Pro name they could go the way of Apple and make it 'app store' content only.
