I do. (Disclaimer: I work at qualcomm and am a part of a "dogfooding" effort). It's certainly adequate for the work I'm doing - which involves developing on/for linux, so I'm logging in to the development systems remotely. So locally I'm running things like a browser, IM, MS Outlook.

I'm looking forward to Snapdragon X, there's definitely occasions where it feels like I could use some more local perfomance.

One of the irritating things is that there's no native Chrome release for Windows-on-ARM. MS suggests that we use Edge but I'm quite comfortable with Chrome. So I use Chromium instead and it's great except it seems to be missing some DRM magic or something and therefore anything like gif files or webp and most videos on most websites can't be played back. However youtube does seem to be clever enough to see the browser's limitations and transcode/filter the content to something acceptable to Chromium. If I want to see those videos I switch to Edge.
