To date all the feedback we've gotten has been positive. Performance has been about what they'd expect from a midrange business laptop but every one of them has commented on the excellent battery life. They haven't run into any issues with software compatibility. Emulated programs do run slower, but so far that's only been a handful of legacy apps and for what they are doing it's not really noticeable.
For all the regular stuff most of these people do day to day, Office, web surfing, meetings, streaming, it all works great.
In our testing beforehand we did want to see where we'd run into trouble, and the places where we had compatibility issues (meaning it wouldn't run) was a few older VPN programs, like Cisco's VPN and some drivers for some much older devices. Most modern stuff just worked and some VPNs also worked. We did try and push the emulation to see where it would be a problem and how bad it would be. Gaming was hit and miss. These aren't gaming machines so didn't expect much but there were some that worked fine under emulation and others that ran but really weren't playable.
Things like video editing under emulation were pretty bad. Some useable but definitely not great. Some of those tools already do apparently offer native ARM versions now but we haven't tried them again.
Overall it's mostly good stuff and I think for most people these systems can be great. The key is of course if developers will get there soon which is a whole chicken or egg thing. Developers don't want to invest until there's enough of them out there and users want to hold off until all their apps are there.
