    I really want to see more fanless design laptops from the Windows side of things. If this chip allows that and provides the performance they're claiming it to have, I'd totally check them out!

    Preface: I'm an amateur, I live with 1 other person at home, and a cheapskate, so I use my ISP provided gateway (Hitron cable modem with Wi-Fi 6) and I feel lucky that it's been reliable and fast both wireless and wired (usually around 500+ Mbps). I install Tailscale VPN with Quad9 DNS on all my device if I want to do remote stuff. Example: I have my Apple TV be the Tailscale server exit node, so I can use public Wi-Fi and VPN to my Apple TV it also doubles as my region unblocker when I'm out of the country. I also have a cheap Samsung Galaxy Book Go (uses a Qualcomm CPU - sips very little power) acting as a file sharing server with Tailscale, so I can access my media files wherever I go.
