I have tried arm computers such as raspberry pi and they are slow. The linux arm projects seem to target just the cheapest price, m1 seems more like bang for buck. I hope linux hardware develops towards that.
- DennisAleynikov 6y agoraspberry pi's werent even 64bit until the latest revision and are meant to be dirt cheap <$25 computers the arm chromebooks like the lenovo duet absolutely murder the iPad pro or even the new iPad Air in terms of actually being a useful OS for devs
- Someone 6y agoI don’t know whether that’s true, but that’s quite a change of subject from “macs are priced at roughly 3x markup compared to the market”.
- DennisAleynikov 6y agothe duet, the laptop I actually use is $300 which apple does not have a competing product with, its fair to claim in my head that even now its 3x more than what I am paying. as an ex macbook pro main, I bought 3 of them over the course of last decade and a half and they have always had older intel brains than any xps or razer stealth I would try to cross shop with. after m1 apples price to performance ratio is at unreal levels
- lostlogin 6y agoMac MacBooks have generally lasted 10ish years. Sometimes more sometimes less. That’s awfully close in price to 3x $300 laptops in 10 years.
