Windows is not fine with ARM, which can be a turnoff for some.

Being able to run benchmarks doesn’t make it is a great experience to use unfortunately. 3/4 of applications don’t run or have bugs that the devs don’t want to fix.

Could you name a few? Just curious if its very specific stuff or apps I might actually use.

I bet it will be fine with arm fairly quickly now that these chips are on the horizon.
