its the first ARM based PC that doesn't suck. Microsoft Windows ARM didn't move people to ARM based PC while Apple succeed.

Early Acorn Archimedes users would like a word about that "first" claim, it misses by a few decades!

ARM was a company created by Acorn, Apple and VLSI. The ARM was the Acorn RISC Machine, and I owned one, but the first ARM chip was by Apple as much as Acorn. They didn’t decamp dozens of engineers to Cambridge for no reason…

Not sure who downvoted you - I completely agree. People have been talking about Arm as the next generation for a long time. I would suggest that Amazon made it successful with Graviton in the cloud, and Apple made it successful on the laptop/desktop with the M1.
