I wonder what the speed is like. I bought a netbook as soon as I could back in 2007 or so. I still run my Dell Mini 9 to this day. Back then I wanted to be able to hack on emacs in bed (seriously). I never actually did that much because using a keyboard (especially a very small keyboard) in bed isn't very comfortable. But the other point was this was a portable computer I could actually afford (it was less than £200). The computer also has no moving parts whatsoever which I found very cool. It's powered by 32 bit Atom and these days I find even Lubuntu has unsatisfactory performance. So it now run Gentoo with a minimal kernel and just enough to run i3wm with Firefox and emacs on there.
I guess the ARM64 is more powerful than my Atom. But it still only has 2GB of memory which is the same as my netbook! (I might have upgraded my RAM, I can't remember).
