How soon until Asahi will run on it

Years. Asahi fully relies on reverse engineering by the community and those community members tend to get hired by the competition. Get a device where the platform designer supports Linux development upstream if your priority is Linux.

Could you give examples? My hope is to get a laptop at commodity mass produced prices, but where everything works flawlessly with Linux.

I've heard that old thinkpads are the way to go, but I don't really understand which models to look at specifically.

AMD, Intel. To a lesser degree Qualcomm. (I wrote platform designer, not notebook manufacturer.)

I don’t really understand which models to look at specifically.

As long as it's without NVidia graphics and WiFi/Bluetooth not by Broadcom, it should be alright.
