2 0 ReplyI would if it were a low cost option. All the manufacturers have their laptops premium priced. Pair that with Windows on ARM being sluggish when it needs to run apps through an emulation layer, it’s not worth it. Cut the average $1500 price tag in half and they will probably do better.
2 0 ReplyYeah if the X Elite laptops were $600-$700 (with decent specs and design), it would be a whole different discussion.
You could essentially use Windows on Arm as premium Chromebook or sorts.
Other than fanboys, no one is going to pay $1,000+ for a laptop to deal with the world hurt that comes with using Windows on Arm.
