  It’s only logical that they’re gonna do it eventually. Probably not with the next generation though.
  The only reason we’re still using x86 is because of app support. If FEX lives up to its expectations and machines that use it gain traction (thus taking a bigger market share), developers will notice and hopefully start compiling their games to run on Linux on ARM natively with insane performance gains, at least on power to watt ratio at first, but raw performance later once better chips get made.

  1. Yes
  2. Yes
  3. It’s not too hard to replace it but you can’t get a better one than the original one
  4. It’ll work fine. Give it a month and then see if you want a dock as well.
  5. Most likely yes.
  6. Joystick drift, although they can be replaced and calibrated.
