@coliver said in Asus and HP Announce First Windows 10 ARM Laptops:

Wasn't the original surface an arm tablet?

Yeah

I hope some big names, like SuperMicro, take this seriously and get something in our hands soon. This would be perfect for two socket 1U servers or some tiny blade units (those SM deals with four blades in a 2U kind of thing.)

@strongbad said in ARM RISC Linux Laptop Released from TERES-I:

Of course, for that price and specs, you could just get a Chromebook and put Linux on it.

Oh yeah, that makes more sense. LOL.

I'm looking forward to these devices getting out and being able to get openSuse Tumbleweed loaded up on them 🙂

Put 4G in there and I'd be very interested. 2GB, and I just don't really care. The ancient Android version doesn't thrill me, either. This doesn't seem like they are taking it very seriously.

There is an ebb and flow to all technology. Apple is no exception to it.

@SamsungTX
Good info, thanks!
That would work for me. But we'll have to go to a store so she can hold it in her hand to see if it will be a good fit. (personally, I'd probably prefer the S8+)

We use T-Mobile, they've been great and the best for us so far, so no plans on switching... especially if they keep improving things like they seem to be.

For me, I prefer Windows Mobile... as my mobile use focus is on convenience (not sure how familiar you are with Win10 Mobile, but it's brilliant) and working seamlessly with my Win10 laptop.

My ideal solution or phone fantasy, would be the S8+ running Win10 Mobile! I doubt that will happen, so I'm waiting to see what happens with the "surface phone". But I am all about the S8 for my wife if it's a good fit after trying it out.

Someone hasn't experienced the glory of the blinkenlights I see.

Ah, I see the article is from 2014.

@DustinB3403 said in Asus Tinker Board Takes on the Raspberry Pi 3:

I would actually invest a decent chunk of money into SBC if the use cases weren't so fringe. (at least for me they are)

Raspian doesn't really do much for me, I suppose I need to find a decent use for these and then I'd use em.

But otherwise they're really low cost computers with an odd use case.

Debian and Ubuntu, I believe, are already set on this board.

@scottalanmiller

While my main drive wasn't to get the rPi to learn some basic programming, I am hoping that it will help 'encourage' it.

I am planning to load Linux on my laptop as the primary, and take it from there. But I also am pushing myself to use the CLI more in the rPi than before..

I think that efforts like what HPE and Dell have been doing to get very high density, very low cost ARM "blades" into the datacenter is where it is going to be. And that there will either be loads of hypervisor management used to push out workloads or something similar that does this for bare metal much like Ubuntu's MaaS (Metal as a Service) to get the ARM blades to act as much like VM hosts as possible.

Hopefully for use in something a little more powerful than a Pi. As much as I like Raspberri Pis, they just don't have the power.

Scotty! More power!

Lots of powerful ARM devices out there these days.

Nvidia's shield? Bet that would run some containers with ease.

It would, for sure. I have the top end Shield and that baby has some serious power. Several cores, integrated GPU, 3GB RAM.

@IRJ said in First Look at the NVidia Shield TV:

It seems like that is just a list of android games.

There are a handful of Android TV only titles, but nearly everything that runs on Android TV also runs on Android, but not the other way around.

Well not all Android apps run on Adroid TV, but actually most of them do work if you sideload them. Sometimes the controls can get lost if the apps only work for touch screen devices. I have sideloaded alot of apps and most android apps do work on Android TV.

Hope that we see NVidia running with this to make an awesome follow up to their rocking X1 processor.

The blind leading the blind, I guess.
