Fair point. Without moving the goal posts, I should have clarified that I was referring to Windows on x86, and have never owned a Windows ARM device. What I was trying to say is that, if you want compatibility with the broadest swath of software, you don't generally buy a Mac. This is not as true as it used to be, but it's still true. I don't have a Surface Pro X and would never buy one, but it's an example of how ARM isn't necessarily the answer to the user's problem, because the user may well use his device for more than running Microsoft Office and browsing the internet. A glimmer of hope from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/surface-pro-arm-app-performance https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/surface-pro-arm-app... on Oct 1, 2020: With 64-bit emulation coming soon in Preview via the Windows Insider program, you'll be able to run 64-bit (x64) apps on Surface Pro X.
