Second part of your post completely discredits opinion in the first part btw.

People who are dailying only browser and Excel require "100%" of software to be ported before they switch. Okay, probably can't browse internet because <put some niche software name here> is not ported yet.

As long as 50% of software is not running correctly on Windows 11 for ARM, I wouldn't recommend an ARM computer. Until now it still looks even worse than using Linux on Intel/AMD.

Didn't Microsoft say that Win on ARM will only run on Qualcomm and that all other ARM CPU makers are screwed?  I fail to see how a non-Qualcomm company will find success in the ARM PC space unless they're Huawei/Apple with own PC ecosystem.

Let's see:

Windows 11
Android
ChromeOS
Linux
HarmonyOS (possibly)

Really, let me give you a guess, it starts with a Windows and ends in 11.

Humm...

This COULD BE the much awaited ARM+Nvidia APU that could run WIN-on-ARM with the net result being devices that can play Windows games.

(while we all are assuming that Nintendo's Switch2 might have a similar but less powerful APU)

Then again it might simply be another waste of time+energy+resources.

IMHO: new products need to bring something to the table in ether:

- it is better than what was available before <or>
- it is at least competitive with what is available NOW

otherwise instead of a 'hit' we have a 'miss' along with the often mentioned 'just wait for our next generation...' nonsense we constantly hear from some OEM's.

BUT what OS will run on it.  Unless you're in bed with Microsoft, or Huawei/Apple already making your own PC OS, it's stupid to develop an ARM PC CPU with no OS actually supporting it!
