ASUS Vivobook 16 (X1607QA, Snapdragon X, 2025)
Around 700 dollars (approx) and 14 real hours of battery, but it is a Snapdragon ARM machine: Linux here is a research project, not a daily driver.

ubuntu-lts: This is a Snapdragon X ARM64 machine.

Treat the Adreno GPU, Wi-Fi, audio and camera as unsupported until a maintained device tree exists for this exact model. Buy it for Windows-on-ARM and 14-hour battery, not Linux. linux-msm: Qualcomm SoC mainlining →
