With the way I roll going without a VPN is not an option. Maybe in a few years the big guys will get arm apps for VPN and I'll look at it again......

When Apple ditched Intel and started their M series ARM based CPUs, there wasn't strong support right away from 3rd party apps.
Only MacOS was strong out of the box.
If you want to game on this, you will be limited to Xbox GamePass cloud or possibly GeforeNow cloud. I don't believe there are any local game options outside of Microsoft's AppStore.
Your other alternative is wiping out windows and installing Linux Ubuntu. Only because Linux already has over a decade of experience with ARM based software.
At the end of the day, you are buying some nice hardware here. Microsoft based software just needs to catch up.
For most people, the $649 14 inch with Intel ultra gen 2 seems like a smarter deal.
like windows phone, lol

Look, I have this laptop (paid $473 open box from BB) and while a few of my apps don't have ARM versions, they still run. It's a beautiful laptop, with 3K OLED 120Hz screen, it's thin and liight and as such, if you just need something for day-to-day tasks and Office apps, this works 100% perfect. And, it's fast at what it does.
$499 is a great deal. If you are into gaming (I'm not, AT ALL), this isn't for you. If you have a must-have app, there is a list of compatible ARM apps or go check with the software people themselves and ask.
Originally I was a big "No" vote against these based on compatibility and the premium prices that were being asked. But now, $500 for a 3K OLED 120Hz screen, 16GB ultra-fast memory and an upgradeable SSD drive (unlike Samsung) is something to consider, IF it's the right tool for you.

It's unfortunate you and Crayon didn't do your research before buying it and found out the hard way. Hopefully you returned them, but to paint ARM laptops with your paint brush is unfair to the people these ARE suited for.
