Yeah, I think the benefit of the Qualcomm platform is the graphics situation upstream, and they also come with a (native) bootloader that makes more sense for those not used to the embedded ways of booting. Sigh, I really wish ARM would come to the table and start working with upstream on their Mali drivers. About 845; it looks like there's mostly announced products and none are shipping yet, so most people with knowledge probably still need to be tight-lipped about details. I do look forward to seeing some of these products coming out and what people will do with them. The fact that secure boot can be turned off on them through regular settings is promising. -Olof

Are we getting at all close to that? I guess the Samsung Chromebook Plus (Rockchip RK3399-based [branded OP1 though]) also is somewhat close to that target - even with a nice high-res display and everything except the 32kb BootRom being replaceable. Of course Qualcomm-based devices have the Adreno/Freedreno bonus, but even in that area we're seeing some progress for Mali (Midgard) this year [0].

I asked one person that had an older one (ASUS NovaGo - Qualcomm 835), and apparently you can actually disable secure boot on that thing and boot from USB. In other words, it might _actually_ act like a normal laptop. I'd love to have something that is actually a real honest-to-goodness ARM laptop finally. Are we getting at all close to that? Linus
