Have you used an ARM based laptop? I had some hands-on time with a Surface Pro with the Snapdragon X1E-80-100. It was SLOW SLOW SLOW as balls. Took forever just to open apps.

Intel and AMD are not concerned.

No, I have not used an ARM cpu, well, errr, except in my cell phone and android tablet. My IPad is a bit old but I think has an ARM chip too.
