Same here - I'm ready to move on from my 2015 XPS13, but having recently got an M1 Mac for work I'm now not prepared to compromise on battery life. If a major Linux distro (Ubuntu or Fedora) is shown to work well on the new ThinkPad, I'll be getting one pretty quickly.

The performance will be the real question, like it won't be nowhere near the M1 for sure

Why wouldn't you just get an AMD X13? At least you know there's already sorted GPU drivers in mainline, it's no slouch AIUI.

What I read about the ARM ThinkPad is it's basically a smartphone in an X13 chassis... Yay? Seems like a strange Linux hardware support nuisance to be looking forward to.

Do you know that the ARM one will run linux on day one?

Not by Lenovo. Officially it comes with Windows 11
