- oneplane 2y agoI suppose that's true. My mind was already on the likes of Qualcomm, Apple, Ampere and Broadcom but the base ISA and some of the reference designs used in public are indeed pure ARM (the company). Ideally there'd be a player like Fujitsu (also an ARM licensee), they can do an entire laptop where only the manufacturing and software is not in-house (they don't have the capacity to do that AFAIK). If you then slap some coreboot (or U-Boot) and linux on it, you'd be pretty close to a much less US-attached laptop.
- robin_reala 2y agoYou can get pure(ish)-China laptops if you’re willing to go that far to get away from the US. Hauwei have a range of laptops using HiSense ARM cores: https://qingyun.huawei.com/ https://qingyun.huawei.com/
- oneplane 2y agoDidn't Samsung try to do the same? That'd be a Korean option if amelius has that in scope. Unless they are using Snapdragon for those of course.
