From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You don't think with the proper specs that it could behave much more akin to a modern laptop? Not to overhype or anything, but it feels like people have been waiting on something like this for a long time.
Absolutely but even their high end model has just a RK3588S 8-core 64-bit with a Mali-G610 MP4 ... and that's not exactly a powerhouse if you check benchmark with like an i7 which would already be several years old, not even high end.
This is not a "fair" comparison and yet, in practice if you sit down with that setup and you start to use Blender and Firefox with a tutorial running in the background, it's going to feel sluggish quickly IMHO.
