That was part of it, but they hyped up the product so much as a Macbook M series competitor and made outrageous claims, including having very optimistic benchmarks. They shot themselves in the foot because any benchmarks compared to the macbook were against them, especially in efficiency. They promised Linux support shortly after launch too but it’s still not fully here.
I mean, that’s how qualcomm does business. For as long as they’ve existed, they’ve made ridiculous comparisons about their newest chip against Apple’s.
Fool me once shame on me, fool me twenty times, shame on me again because I should’ve learned 19 times ago
