Finally buying a decent ARM laptop that isn't a macbook.
What laptop will that be?
Pretty much all the major brands are reportedly going to make laptop models with the Snapdragon X Elite chip, so any one of those really. I'm probably going to buy a Lenovo one since they have a good track record.
Nice. I'm out of the loop
I'll be watching the market going forward. Let's see what they come up with
I’m curious to see how this pans out when they start to ship. The hardware looks really promising, but I’m curious about the rollout for software support.
I’m excited to see real benchmarks from shipping laptops with off-the-shelf software.
The hardware isn’t the issue (well, it won’t be much longer) it’s the software that doesn’t exist that is.
But nobody on the software side will take porting to arm seriously if the hardware doesn't exist. Some essentials like browsers and the adobe suite got ported to arm already but as soon as there's an actual audience lots more people will bother putting out arm builds.
