#4If these ARM-laptops supports the ServerReady platform, I guess it should be possible to just UEFI boot a plain Debian or Ubuntu Arm64 ISO on these machines, without need to tailor a specific image?
If not, I'm going to be dissapointed.
Edit: According to a reddit-comment[0], ARM ServerReady, UEFI and ACPI are all requirements for Windows on ARM, so if this thing runs Windows, we should be able to assume all those other things are in place too. Unless someone has locked the SecureBoot-settings, these laptops should be able to run Linux too without too much trouble.

ARM has had trust zone for years now.

#7Interesting. I was recently looking to upgrade my personal T480s which I use for development, but didn't see anything in Lenovo lineup that were reasonably light/powerful/quiet/cool enough to make put in the order. I've grown so sick of laptops constantly hissing at me when I do something more complicated than browsing the web. My work issued Dell is basically unusable in a quiet room without headphones. So as an impulse buy I sidegraded to M1 Air instead just to see what the fuss is all about.
Well, I'm not really wanting to go back to regular intel/amd laptops now, I have been spoiled.

#9Tomshardware is such a ad filled cess pool of a site. I refuse to go to any pages of theirs. I’ve blocked them in my DNS. The tech reporting is garbage anyway besides the ad filled pages. A better site for this info is: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/02/lenovo-announces-the...
