Works for me too. They may have blacklisted Latvia or your provider.

The site asked to locate me, and since I have it disabled and said NO when it asked to... perhaps that's why? :bigsmile:

It did not flop. It performed exactly as expected.

I think you're wrong there, they took a big swing with a lot of marketing and a lot of big oem's putting out designs and then it went nowhere. Dev kit? Delayed for about two months, and recalled and cancelled not more than two months after release. Software compatibility though improved is still a crapshow.

Microsoft finally put out a windows on arm image, which again doesn't seem to be going anywhere. There's a lot of work towards making things work and be compatible that no one seems to be willing to make. It doesn't seem like ARM will supplant x86 any time soon

Nope. It seems they are hiding from EU... Any French here? We need to test your colonial rights here.

Look, this is a very interesting discovery because I could Not imaging that Bestbuy,ca ( Canada ) disabled access to users from outside of North America!

What about www.bestbuy.com ( USA )?
Could you try https://bestbuy.ca/ and https://bestbuy.com/ ?

Do you have free VPN software installed on your computer? For example, Proton VPN, or Open VPN?

VPN providers usually have a set of servers in every region around the world. Using a free ProtonVPN software I can access VPN servers in USA, China and Japan.

Another way is try Opera browser with a free embedded VPN functionality.

I've checked your location and I can Not understand why Bestbuy Canada is limiting access to users from EU. It is Absolutely strange! Once again, try to use a free VPN software.

USA also does not work... I just tried Opera built in VPN... it works... it is sad...

I've uploaded 3 webpages from Bestbuy Canada for users from EU who does Not have access ( using https://bestbuy.ca ).

Where I live I could find only 3 laptops on sale with Snapdragon X, two of them are about 1200$ and the other one is, get ready for it : 2500$.

Considering other x86 laptops at the 1000$ mark absolutely demolish them in performance, especially in graphics, no wonder these things haven't exactly broken any sales records.

In Canada or US for $2,500 dollars I could buy a 17.3" Dell Precision Mobile Workstation with a latest Generation of Intel CPU:

As soon as I have a chance to test these laptops first thing I'll do is
