> today you can install Debian or Ubuntu or other distros in a container
This is far far from the title's promise of being a "Linux laptop"... you might as well also claim all Windows PCs are now Linux PCs because of WSL.
I know I'm not alone when I expect a computer that claims to support Linux to mean running it on the hardware, without a hypervisor, outside of a container or any other kind of virtualization.
Better resource utilisation, control, freedom, not requiring google's permission to do anything. When you are inside a container you are still under the control of another OS... the lack of a bunch of other practical limitations of running inside a container that I'm not familiar with because I don't run my frickin desktop inside a container! why would I do that, it's an unnecessary limitation and increases complexity - maybe some people do if they benefit from containers for a very specific use case, but this does not make it a "Linux Laptop" first and foremost.
