I still believe in snapdragon on windows will keep improving. In the meantime will wait for the price to come down 1st.

Everything will improve along the way... given the pricetag, who would buy a broken thing?

Agreed. Right now the price abit high especially for OLED version. Asus vivobook mostly RM 4k & above. If the price around RM 3k will be good

check out review first before buying,
for now just stick with x86 CPU, king of backward compatibility.

definitely read this before buying https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1048803/

WARM is different beast of OS,
for example Android, you plug in any thing, it will almost certainly works,
USB dock, ethernet, hdd, ,keyboard/mice, plug-n-play, why? because Android is build on top of Linux.
a lot of drivers are added into the kernel.

While Windows + x86, a lot of drivers are shipped with Windows, tonnes of support from hardware vendor,
most people cant leave Windows due to the widest hardware/software compatibilities.

WASM is Windows + ARM, without support from their maker Qualcomm/MS, it will not work.

In the meantime you guys can give Win 11 ARM64 a go by installing it on Raspberry Pi 5. See if you like the experience. I sure do. Right now I'm just waiting for the price to go down further before making any decisions.

Anyone here using Windows ARM? How is Excel ARM compared to Excel x86?

Specifically the ALT accelerator keys, are they the same? For example, for setting column width, it is ALT-HOW (new) or ALT-OCW (old).

Asking because on Excel ARM MacOS, it only goes up to ALT-HO then have to use mouse to click.

Looking to get a X Elite lappy for wife to use. Excel is priority so if cannot do the above, will have to consider Core Ultra instead.

I’ve been using Parallels Desktop to run Windows on my Mac.
Before that, I tried using CrossOver to run Windows programs, but it made my MacBook run hotter.

Since switching to Parallels Desktop back in 2022, I haven’t had any issues — everything’s been running smoothly.

It's funny as shit as to why Windows on ARM can run perfectly smooth on MacOS virtualization but not natively on an ARM based computer made specifically for it.
