The Asus ExpertBook B3 Detachable is a small 2-in-1 laptop with an attachable keyboard. Featuring the power-efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2, the device is designed to let students work and learn with ease. Whilst it may indeed be good enough for the intended market, the device still has many limitations.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-of-Asus-ExpertBook-B3-Detachable-B3000-silent-slow-with-ARM-processor.636803.0.html
OK, but how about running Linux on it?

They made several Chromebooks using this motherboard, chassis & display.
However, 7c is a product of extensive Microsoft + Qualcomm collaboration, so I'd leave it at that. If it ain't broke...
eMMC on a device selling for 700€, Asus really takes people for fools (and maybe they're right, if they're still in business).
8GB RAM and Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 are more than enough for most people. But eMMC storage? That really has to go. To this day, I don't see any ARM-powered Windows or Chromebook devices that use UFS storage. It's not like they have to go all the way to UFS 3.1, UFS 2.1 is more than enough.
Running on the Snapdragon 7c Gen 2, and getting those Geekbench 5 scores? (1,500 SC and >5,000 MC) Is crazy! There must be an error, or needs special analysis, because those are better and comparable to the flagship Qualcomm 8cx Gen 3. Also, its not consistent with the results found in the rest of the benchmarks (I would think this is a mistake).
