    Just like with cars, they will work hard to turn this into a viable alternative within a short timeframe. Once a Chinese laptop running Linux on ARM at comparable performance but half the cost of an american one hits store shelves, it’ll be game over.

          I agree with you, being skeptical without proof is healthy. But given that most stuff is made in China and then imported from, its not far fetched to believe this being possible. And this is not something where Ai could have done slop work for them (I hope not).

          I tend to believe this being true, but I’m worried about price to performance, and compatibility. Well, I’m not worried for myself though…

        Probably you meant “harmless”, because there is no reason to call the person “armless”.

      There’s no separate graphics card, it’s an ARM-based SOC.

      I would not expect it to be anything even remotely special in terms of performance. Enough to drive a display or two, accelerate video and GUI elements, run some light games. It doesn’t need to do anything more - and more isn’t within the capabilities of Chinese chip manufacturers anyway.
