        I bet it will be fine with arm fairly quickly now that these chips are on the horizon.

          I doubt it. Many windows applications still are 32 bit only today. Visual studio only got 64 bit support in 2022. Windows has a long history of backwards compatibility and I would expect to be depending on software compatibility layers for a decade or more, even for some Microsoft products.

          Being able to run benchmarks doesn’t make it is a great experience to use unfortunately. 3/4 of applications don’t run or have bugs that the devs don’t want to fix.

            Could you name a few? Just curious if its very specific stuff or apps I might actually use.

      Most things are fine on arm these days

      MacOS? Yes. Linux? Sure. Android? Obviously. Windows? Not a chance!

      And seeing this is designed for laptops, your options will be either Linux or Windows. The comment is on point.

          Oh don’t get me wrong, it definitely runs!

          But have you tried using it as a daily driver? Most things will break. I discovered this the hard way by installing it in a Raspberry Pi

            Was it just because it was arm, or because it was a raspberry pi and had too little of everything else windows likes to hog up? There’s several major laptop manufacturers that are planning to sell laptops with these. I doubt that would be the case if they were all functionally broken to the consumer.

        Caveat for all platforms running wine applications. So Linux is fine, except when running windows applications.

        Well, mostly, there do exist binary only Linux applications too. Business applications and also some games with native Linux support.
