Hoping they have success, but to say that their laptop chips are truly mainstream, at least in the same sense that Apple gives, is a bit generous I feel.

Obviously the X series has a decent shot at changing that, which I really hope it does.

I heard they were pretty good, on par and better than M3s.

I only saw that claim in an article where they explained that those chips (Snapdragon) aren't anything special. Apparently yet another case that a company uses misleading benchmarks.

I would love something like that in a super small form factor, like a minipc (NUC, minisforum) or SBC (like RockPro64 size) so I could build a small home NAS with lots of power for home lab stuff.
