That's true as well. I'm using an older 7th gen Intel for remuxing, but do software AV1 encodes which take like 11 hours lol

Good move.

I find software reencoding/remux instead of doing it on the fly is easier for my brain to manage over alignment of the hardware stars.

I have this all the time when I'm on my mullvald vpn. Makes me want to not use it half the time :(

Yep, I'm familiar with the surface, but not other options. I need to check these out as I've been looking for a replacement for my laptop that isn't really suited for the video encoding I'm doing.

Thanks.

Which ones are not arm ? I know the surface is a good example.

A table is typically an ARM based platform, so using MS products like visual studio can be a challenge, but there are web versions that help.

I think video encoding isn't too polished on tablets as it is on a Linux/Windows PC .

I don't know all the use cases where a table doesn't work, but they do exist.

A tablet doesn't cover all use cases for college work, but I suppose with the push for cloud computer instances this could actually work.

If you go to engineering school, you'll need a computer eventually to run various software. I'm not sure about other degrees however.

I recommend getting 1x16g and then getting another 16g when you have some more cash.

You can run Windows in a VM or try wine.

Should be listed as 9001. That way IT'S OVER 9000!!!
