This is why they’re trying to expand into regular computing with their new windows laptop chip lineup.
They’ve been burning relationships with their customers for years, and now those customers have viable alternatives.

Hopefully the mediatek modem ends up being as reliable as the equivalent Snapdragon would have been. I’m generally leery of unproven tech
