From the blog post:
> This Mainboard is extremely compelling, but we want to be clear that in this generation, it is focused primarily on enabling developers, tinkerers, and hobbyists to start testing and creating on RISC-V. The peripheral set and performance aren’t yet competitive with our Intel and AMD-powered Framework Laptop Mainboards. *This board also has soldered memory and uses MicroSD cards and eMMC for storage, both of which are limitations of the processor. *It is a great way to start playing with RISC-V though inside of a thin, light, refined laptop.
Also, it's not very powerful; a Raspberry Pi 4 blows it out of the water:

Unless you're just wanting to tinker with RISC-V, this isn't going to be your next laptop.
