I use an ARM laptop for travel. I've had a lot of problems with running Python code. Mostly data-science related. A lot of recompilation is required, which is a hassle. Also, sometimes you'll be constrained in what libraries you can use, because some of them simply don't work on ARM, due to ARM specific bugs. NUMBA is one that caused a lot of headache, but I think they got it fixed since.
- akhilcacharya 8y agoWhich one? I'm in the market for a super cheap one!
- dmos62 8y agoAsus C201P. ~180 euros. Very durable, battery lasts for 10 hours easy, more if only programming. It's preinstalled with ChromeOS. Installing Linux took some tinkering; there are some blog posts around that were very helpful.
