People like my wife, they spend hours every day working on email and other light office work. The entirety of which is done in the browser. She doesn't even need to install any other applications. For people like her (which is honestly most consumers) this is a great device. Plenty of power for supported applications, and an incredible battery life.
Mostly looking for something I can bring outdoors for productivity (word documents, reading, emails) or maybe play a game of Dota 2 when staying away from home.

there's no ARM build for solidworks so it has to run through the compatibility layer which brings a pretty significant performance hit.
If you're spending more than a couple hours per week in solidworks on your laptop I'd probably look at something else.

I'm not pushing Mac saying it's better than Windows, but in your wife's scenario, everything she does in a browser can be done on a MacBook which I would go as far as to say it's a better laptop.
BUT, if you can get this cheap enough (fire sale), then that closes the gap a bit as MacBooks would be more expensive.

why bother getting the window RT 2.0 when the real windows get just as good battery life and every application run natively

If you do want something better than a Chromebook, the Intel lunar lake processor is here. It offers all of the advantages of snapdragon (powerful and great battery life) and zero compatibility issues. It will make these arm processors obsolete soon.
