I would guess that they’ll be sourcing a next-gen RISC-V processor ASAP, since those will enable virtualisation. If they stick one in a laptop shell I’d probably buy it pretty quickly. Doubly so if it has EFI.
They already sell the Pinetab RISC-V so quite feasible. I’m not sure I’d buy one as I already have a Banana-Pi (SpacemiT K1 8 so not exactly “next-gen”) so my next purchase on that would probably be something that would be relatively powerful enough to “forget” it’s not ARM/AMD64 for daily usage (which we might not be very far from, not really sure).

The moment I can get a laptop-style RISC-V device with virtualisation support I’m doing it. Double bonus if I can actually use it as my daily driver.
