Is anything interesting happening for non-Apple desktop/laptop Arm?
At the moment building for aarch64 pretty much means embedded, Mac users on the team, or Graviton/other Arm servers.
Are we going to reach a point where there's a meaningful mix of architectures, but it doesn't point to the brand of device? Of course Apple will continue with only one thing, but that Lenovo might have options from Arm licensees as well as Intel/AMD?
- gfiorav 4y agoI use a thinkpad x13s and i’m happy with it
- OJFord 4y agoOh I didn't realise they existed! Nice. Performance/specs-wise, I haven't looked in-depth, but seems they compete more with iPads/other tablets + keyboard cases than with Macbook Pros/x86 options in that class and price point though? Thanks though, seems promising. I've been interested in Asahi since I first saw it here, but I can't help wondering if long-term the better buy might not be a ThinkPad, Framework or whatever that only ever expected (Windows or) Linux. (The Framework has probably been enough to quash the draw of Mac hardware/build quality but Linux for me.)
