at this point, apple laptops have become fancy tablets but i wish there was viable options for arm processor laptops
In what way do you feel like apple laptops are just fancy tablets?
Everything is soldered to the motherboard. Next question?
Does that make an SBC a fancy tablet?
Does an sbc with a keyboard, trackpad and a screen make a laptop?
I don't know, did you plug a touchscreen to your raspberry pi? In that case, yes.
Do you feel that operating system should be factored into this determination in any way?
You do realize that virtually every device with an arm processor also have soldered ram?
When did I mention ram? But sure, you can throw that on the pile too.
the only real difference is that laptops have a track pad. It's literally a fancy tablet with a dedicated keyboard.
