Already a thing?
And is hardware the limiting thing here?
Not the terrible arm OSes?

- adgjlsfhk1 4y agoArm on linux works pretty well.
- starkparker 4y agoAnd Framework already ships a 13" model and parts with Chromebook certification, which has great ARM support.
- sedatk 4y agoARM on Windows works great too. I don't know what they're talking about.
- samtheDamned 4y agoI hadn't heard about the ARM Thinkpad, that's very interesting. For me the reason ARM on the Framework is an exciting possibility is that you can switch out the mainboard with the processor. The X13s is $1,300 which is quite the investment into such an early platform. With a framework laptop, you could have an ARM mainboard, but with the ability to switch it out with an x86-64 mainboard without having to invest in a whole new laptop. It could also go the other way, having a laptop on hand and wanting to dive into ARM, you would just have to buy an ARM mainboard instead of an entire laptop.
