Low hanging fruit, but whatever. It is what it is.

Lol ok enjoy your lenovobios and being trapped on x86 forever

If you know anything about Lenovo you would know that if ARM laptops started to have high market share they would have like 35 mediocre models on offer in a year.

Some of the think pad lines are still good but their consumer offerings and a couple of the think pad lines are trash.

Thinkpad not always was lenovo's

[–] ssm@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 months ago

My oldest Thinkpad I still own is an X60, and other than the hardware problems, the plastic on the thing is becoming so old it's brittle and breaks every time you try to take the thing apart. I love it and my T60p dearly, but they're past their final days.

What's wrong with x86 all of a sudden?

ARM is still pretty damn experimental compared to x86.

Bullshit mostly. x86 is fine & has been getting a lot more power efficient (if you can get a work day’s worth of power, you have met the benchmark). Wake me up when RISC-V is here.
