Any decent 2in1 ARM-based notebooks that one can install Linux on ?

Something like Lenovo's Flex 5, but for ARM and low cost.

Lenovo has Flex 5G, but that costs whopping $1.5K.

Can Chromebooks be used in this role ?

Or perhaps there is barebone option ?

I don't need Win10 models and associated price hike.

Is there anything announced with known specs ?

I would like to see something with latest-gen ARM and long battery life. Flex 5G would be ideal, if it wasn't so darn overpriced.

BTW, out of curiosity, how does Snapdragon 8cx & Co compare with latest-gen Ryzens on native code ( not interested in x86 emulation) ?

I don't exactly understand what you're looking for, but the Pinebook
might fit the bill: https://www.pine64.org/pinebook/
