Why do you think that? Last I heard these Arm laptops have all sorts of problems, and they apparently also have boot lockers. This is what Google has to say about it:
Edit: This thread on reddit says the same thing, although there are disagreements: But clearly not solid info that would make me risk buying a device that may or may not work. Edit PS: |

This is what Google has to say about it: Running Linux on the Acer Aspire Go 15 (AG15-Q31P)—which features the ARM-based Qualcomm Snapdragon C processor—presents significant hurdles. Because Snapdragon ARM chips require specialized upstream kernel support, device trees, ...

ARM + linux is the go-to with raspberry pi and cloud containers. These dont require dedicated graphics hardware though. |

Raspberry Pi specifically supports Linux, and has its own Linux distro, and that is awesome. |

So a weaker cpu, and less storage explain the lower price but how is it a competitor? |
