 @ca5977db In your case, Windows in Arm, or Apple Silicon? Because the latter is also a performance game-changer.

 @f7e4238e neither! I went Chrome OS a long time ago because it was just so fast & lightweight.

If I did it again today I might go with iPad-as-laptop

 @ca5977db Nice! Chrome OS was way ahead of the arm laptop thing. The first one I tried was ten years ago, and was surprisingly capable.

 @f7e4238e yeah I had one of those... it was... not great :)

but now I'm typing this on one that is SHOCKINGLY capable and gets like, 12 hours battery life easy (and it's been heavily used for almost 2 years)

 @ca5977db It’s possible I was grading them on a “I can’t believe this works at all!” curve… 🤣
