And you can't run Linux on it.

You can run Asahi Linux on M1 MacBooks right now. If you didn't see the news, they've even been able to run some relatively modern AAA games with decent enough frame rates. Granted that's only the M1 macs, but there's at least one relatively modern ARM laptop that you can run Linux on.

I'll totally concede that the new Snapdragon laptops aren't running Linux yet. It seems like Qualcomm is taking Linux support seriously, but I'm a bit skeptical as someone who has been absolutely fucked by a shitty Qualcomm kernel module.
