I'm cautiously optimistic, a new player in PC silicon is exciting if nothing else.

That really depends on the TDP of the Intel and AMD chips. Both have been progressively pumping more and more juice into their silicon lately in an attempt to be the "fastest".

If Qualcomm is within spitting distance at a much lower TDP then this might actually be the beginning of the end for x86.

I'm sorry to say that in spite of your best efforts it still isn't the year of the Linux desktop.

It can be a long term investment in the same way a car is a long term investment - you can tune it up over the long term to extend it's life but at a certain point you'll likely have to replace some key components. The theory is that the cost of those repairs will be less than buying a whole new laptop though.

My moral system makes me think you're evil for this.

I understand the concern but I think you're just not really in the target demographic for the project. Terraform is a very well known infrastructure-as-code tool, and the other companies listed are suppliers of commercial products that build on top of what Terraform provides.

I don't think it would've gone the exact same route, but they would've become more aggressive about gaining revenue.

This is honestly a win win for the store and consumers - in my experience store brands rarely change their sizes. So this just keeps the customers informed and potentially funnels some sales into the store brand.

The issue is when the store brand gets smaller a year or two down the line.

Yes but the assholes are the ones that tend to take advantage of things like this.

The NFC reader isn't on the sticks, so I don't see why they wouldn't.
