If it doesn't run VirtualBox then I can't use it to write code, so why does it even matter if it's faster?

Have you considered that plenty of people don’t need VirtualBox to write code?
You could use that now or wait for virtual box to catch up (I assume).
Conceptually I'd love one of these machine, but realistically if I can't develop locally in an Ubuntu VM then I might as well just wait a year or two to buy one until that's possible. I'm not going to use Docker, and realistically I have zero interest in spending multiple weeks rewriting all of my provisioning scripts.
QEMU can virtualise arm and emulate x86.
This thing is running Rails, mysql, elastic search, redis, mongodb, and workers inside docker. As well as nodejs, vscode, a handful of electron apps all at the same time and the laptop is cold.
gulp.watch would often eat an entire core, and stuff in Docker ran slower than on Linux, but my laptop could keep up. vscode didn't lag and Firefox ran just fine—all with 5+ Docker containers running.
