Sounds good, as long as a standard Linux distro can replace whatever operating system ships with these machines.

Three cookie banners. I bet the announcement is slop that doesn't even answer relevant questions.

Funny how Qualcomm is juggling three OSes to sell these chips while Apple just stuck a phone chip in the Neo and called it a day. Controlling the chip, the OS, and the actual computer is a huge advantage. Apple is more than one study case on competitive analysis.

Yay!<p>Please sell >1 model of computer with X2 EE (elite extreme) please please please. Not that #1 was bad at all but more please! <a href="https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-Zenbook-A16-Laptop-Review-X2-Elite-Extreme-48-GB-RAM-for-1599.1261795.0.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-Zenbook-A16-Laptop-Review...</a><p>I really hope it's like 2031 and we're swimming in way too many of these. Running great Linux. How sick would that be. (And X4 is running mainline great too).
