Re: okay lets run the numbers
Reasons why lenovo are not to be trusted are availible on this site for those they do not keep up with the industry and is the case for Qualcomm also
Clearly I assumed that ARMwindows that doesnt run x86windows code better than under linux would be an obvious issue. The only benefit for windows is the software already availible for that OS which this is not going to run on an ARM but might under an emulator. Said emulator is going to run better under linux due to the improved optimsation/footprint.
If a windows GUI is what you want then they have those for linux too so why bother with thew M$ overheat and slurp
RAM at 4GB this is the current SOC standard amount so you could replace the CPU RAM for an SOC costing less then £100 leaving you with the case and screen and some secondary storage, for what they want you could buy enough to make 4 laptops of similiar spec and have a choice of OS. Again the SOCs dont have a problem running in less than 4GB under linux and the current crop have fast secondary storage so can swap data out as needed.
Always connected, lenovo want to sit where CromeOS created a market but when comparing google and lenovo, the spying of the later is bizarrely more insidious.
