  Didn’t Windows RT fail? I’m genuinely curious: what’s different here?

    Windows 10 now supports x86 emulation on ARM processors, so most programs will run on this device without a problem. Unlike Windows RT, which could only run things from the windows app store. https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/19/17027026/microsoft-windows-10-on-arm-apps-games-limitations-support https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/19/17027026/microsoft-window...

      And this isn't the first ARM Windows laptop with x86 emulation. It is just the first Surface-branded one.

      Windows RT was especially hamstrung because without jailbreaking it couldn't run Win32 desktop software even if it was compiled for ARM.

  This would make for a beautiful Linux device

  So no one going to talk about the removable hard drive?
