True, though people tend to replace laptops when they fall out of support or start having hardware issues, much less often to do an upgrade looking for more frames.
I still feel Microsoft has to bring something hot to really sway anyone over since they have a long history of competing in the mobile hardware space and fumbling it hard.

With a Qualcomm chip though… there will be some teething issues, best case.

Well the rumored Qualcomm handheld is still two years away assuming it doesn’t get delayed. Qualcomm’s next generation of chips are expected to be alot better, and Microsoft have been improving their x86->arm translation layer lately. It’s too early to tell if a qualcomm handheld is a bad idea.

I will believe it when I see it. I hope so.
Qualcomm makes a lot of hype/noise but historically tends to overpromise, and also makes some unforced blunders.
