I wonder if arm Linux laptops will become more of a thing.

I know Apple silicon has a lot more going on then just arm, but a Linux based device with that kind of efficiency to power ratio would be cool.
Eh. ARM is old news. I'd really would've liked to see them push RISC-V
- With the most recent news about arm, I wouldn't be surprised if RISC-V got a push from larger fabs.
  
  Bluntly, we've been computing under proprietary/licensed architectures for so long, it's time for a change. Make CPUs open source. Make them cheap.
  
  I hope
If I had money laying around, this would make a compelling home server. With a minimal GPU, or without one, if possible.
