Nice review. But these are way to expensive. No way Qualcomm can gain much Marketshare with these prices.
If they drop 50% in price i might consider it.
I'm sorry but that HUGE pad that DWARF's the KEYBOARD is a "show stopper" for me.
Personally I'd prefer 2/3 keyboard 1/3 trackpad or 3/4 keyboard and 1/4 trackpad.
what is the point of ARM if they runtimes are so weak?

I think what this (and the release of Lunar Lake later today) shows, is that ISA matters much less and a good architecture can come from anywhere if truly optimised for performance per watt. That if something is rushed, due to corporate internal politics poor miss management / decisions being made at leadership positions - then yeah, nothing is gonna save you really.
Don't think anyone in the arm space is gonna argue that SXE hasn't been a huge let down. Oh well. There's always next year I guess with Mediatek + Nvidia GPU IP, hopefully they do a lot better.
