I was always under the impression x86 is more complicated

2018-09-08 16:00:52 UTC  

except in specalist roles

2018-09-08 16:00:54 UTC  

e.g

2018-09-08 16:00:55 UTC  

routing

2018-09-08 16:01:30 UTC  

there's also https://riscv.org/ which is gaining steam

2018-09-08 16:01:40 UTC  

So... x86 can generally work on broader tasks, while ARM is more specialised?

2018-09-08 16:01:45 UTC  

do I understand that correctly?

2018-09-08 16:01:53 UTC  

are ARM laptops worth buying then?

2018-09-08 16:02:53 UTC  

but i woudln't say arm or x86 are more specalized than either

2018-09-08 16:03:11 UTC  

it's just that all the arm chip manuifactures have had to specialize because intel dominates everytihng

2018-09-08 16:03:15 UTC  

and you cant compete

2018-09-08 16:03:21 UTC  

What?

2018-09-08 16:03:34 UTC  

You shouldn't answer that with yes, Ben

2018-09-08 16:03:38 UTC  

that is tru

2018-09-08 16:03:46 UTC  

but yeah arm laptops can be worth buying

2018-09-08 16:03:49 UTC  

e.g if you want to just fuck around

2018-09-08 16:04:04 UTC  

arm laptops are worth it if everything you do can be done in a browser

2018-09-08 16:04:08 UTC  

or want to be Always Connected™

2018-09-08 16:04:09 UTC  

see: chromebooks

2018-09-08 16:04:25 UTC  

Hmm

2018-09-08 16:04:37 UTC  

But say if I wanted a 2 in 1 or some other kind of tablet

2018-09-08 16:04:42 UTC  

or if you dont mind compiling everything from source and hoping it works

2018-09-08 16:04:42 UTC  

lol

2018-09-08 16:04:43 UTC  

isn't ARM better in that scenario?

2018-09-08 16:04:46 UTC  

Guys, this is off-topic by now. Hush before tervy gets angry

2018-09-08 16:05:07 UTC  

And then there is that samsung attempt at a 2 in 1 which uses ARM with windowed apps @bentech

2018-09-08 16:09:26 UTC  

I also ordered the Teclast F5. Gonna be trying to dual boot Linux on it. Some reviewer already showed that at least Ubuntu live USB worked fine.

2018-09-08 16:11:06 UTC  

uigh im tempted

2018-09-08 16:13:09 UTC  

Idk

2018-09-08 16:13:14 UTC  

It seems too small to comfortably type on

2018-09-08 16:13:49 UTC  

Yeah, it's not probably a good choice as a main laptop.
