As non_burglar said, RISC-V is so far mostly used for small chips for embedded systems. This could change in the future, of course, but you might not have a *good* RISC-V laptop by 2027-28. There is also a concern that the chips themselves need not be open-source, but there have been open-source designs such as XiangShan, which is comparable to A76. Currently, your options are DeepComputing's DC-ROMA, which uses a SpacemiT SoC K1, and Framework's Laptop 13, which has a StarFive JH7110. Neither CPU is fully open. On the software side, there is better news. Debian has accepted RISC-V as one of its main architectures.
