Unified RAM means its soldered to the mainboard, right? I'm not sure if I like this. Sure for a laptop this might be not a big problem but if this ARM ecosystem is a success it will spread to desktop computers and I fear we could lose the existing modularity.
Can it work with Linux? That's all I care about.

Lots of machine learning workflows support Linux better than Windows, if they run on Windows at all. (e.g. https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/getting_started/quickstart/ ) DGX Spark runs Linux, and nobody is going to install Windows on that machine. This laptop got it backwards. If someone decides to run Ollama for local inference with this laptop, they fit perfectly into the "has too much money to waste" bracket, which…

Is this finally Macbook Chip Efficiency coming to Windows or will it just be shittier compatibility for slightly better battery life?

This may finally be the chip family ARM on Windows has always needed. Qualcomm's chips have always been dogs with slow off-the-shelf ARM CPU cores that have pathetic single-threaded performance compared to x86 AMD/Intel or ARM Apple Silicon designs.
