Yeah I think RISC-V is probably still about 10 years away from being a sensible choice for a laptop. There’s a load of platform stuff around things like ACPI and Device Tree that’s still being decided. Also some ISA extensions that are standard on x86/ARM are either unratified or very recently ratified (e.g. Vector).
For microcontrollers it’s ready now, and for server applications it’s probably doable now and will be solid in a few years. Laptops & phones will be last though.
Doesn’t look like it’s ready for prime time. Probably only an option for RISC-V developers.
