It looks like the exclusive deal between Microsoft and Qualcomm has expired and Windows for ARM is going mainstream.

This ARM Thinkpad has very few ports and a bezel for its camera (above the screen, not a notch inside the screen). Looks a lot like a M1 MacBook in black plastic casing.
Let's wait for reviews and tests to see how it fares.
Some questions: Will we see Windows-for-ARM at retail? Will we then see Bootcamp on AppleSilicon?
And, of course, who will try to hack these Windows ARM computers into running macOS? It may be a very bumpy road, due to the lack of all Apple-specific enclaves and accelerators on regular ARM CPUs, but I feel someone will try nevertheless.
