Laptop without screen? If picture is true, this laptop has just empty frame where screen use to be. Very innovative, considering some laptops come with two screens.
Actually I have seen this kind of marketing images screenless laptops long time.

It's a promotional tactics, Joe, to show how thin the bezels are. Quick Photoshop work and nothing else. Dell started with that back in 2015-2016 with their XPS laptops.

Pretty underwhelming, especially ARMv8

I get 2446 single-core, 10682 multi-core with Ryzen 7840U at 23W cTDP and that's soon to be succeeded by the next generation of AMD mobile chips.

Think qualcomm will regret their tactic of launching these products at parity prices with established players...
battery life is an important metric, sure, but performance and software compatibility is also and x86 laptops aren't that bad in battery life anymore, so i am not sure qualcomm will be successful.
they should have undercut amd/intel in prices first, to get traction given they don't have such a good performance
