RISCV is garbage for real use currently.

Arm laptops are plenty competitive with the x86 space with the snapdragons now.

RISC-V chips tend to be slower, but architecture-wise there's not much an ARM chip can do that a RISC-V one can't. Both are pretty well-supported for the coding/web browsing use case laptops get employed for.
