This is because some apps simply do not run in SnapX cpus, so if it doesn't, you're stuck.
Now, for the basics - Microsoft Office (word, excel, PowerPoint, outlook), ms teams, ms edge browser - if that's all school uses, then you'll be fine. Else, pass and buy an Intel/AMD laptop.

Next to none. A bit louder than MacBook Pro but not too much
Thanks for the input.
My surface laptop sounds like a jet engine for simple web browsing...
I admittedly do prefer omnibook's feel. It's based on their business laptop chassis and just feels a little more nicer. But both are solid.
I was able to get an openbox + referb omnibook x elite with 1tb of storage for $380 at microcenter about a month ago. They even let me open the box in store and see if there were any issues. Microcenter still sells some, albeit the price fluctuates.
I was surprised how snappy this thing is. Battery is good, atleast 10-15 hours for using edge.
Fan noise is nonexistent during normal use. Trackpad is stellar, what all trackpads should be. Keyboard is great. Screen is bright and crisp. ARM compatibility is a thing sure, but I've had no true incompatibilities, only oddities. For example the OS threading really doesn't like oxipng for some reason. Some specific AI x64 libraries translate to CPU fine, but using x64 translation + GPU ONNX can be hit or miss.

Snapdragon processors in laptops are best battery savers than anything.
For $600-$700, one can get the top-end Elite Snapdragon (vs. the mid-tier Plus here) with 512gb storage (vs. only 256gb here), and OLED screen (vs. IPS here). True, it won't be the MS Surface, but will be made by Asus, HP, Lenovo or Samasung.
I'll only buy this if it drops down to $200.
