Details and key specifications for Huawei’s upcoming ARM-based laptop have been leaked on social media. It appears the notebook, which currently has the name Qingyun L410, is powered by the 8-core 5G-capable HiSilicon Kirin 990 chipset. It’s not known if the Huawei laptop will be launched outside of China.
I did some research yesterday, and found only one other ARM laptop that’s coming out soon: Acer Chromebook Spin 513. It says it was supposed to come out last month, but I don’t see any available yet. Its $400 with a 14 hour battery life, would be interesting to try to put linux on there and see how long it lasts.
Did you try the PineBook Pro? It’s ~200$ with a dozen hours battery, is very friendly to libre systems and has a growing community (Pine64).
I haven’t tried it yet, just watched some reviews. Unfortunately the battery life is at ~6-8 hours, which isn’t even as good as many x86 processors notebooks.

I heard like @poVoq@lemmy.ml said it’s closer to 10-12h battery (though it depends on your system’s power settings/tweaks). But personally i never had any laptop with more than 3-4h battery so even 6-8h would be pretty good by my standards ;)
