    May get one to replace my aging thinkpad. Should be just fine for a little laptop to bring traveling and to watch animes in bed

      I don’t know if I’d get it for general use, RISC-V is still really early and performance on this thing looks really weak.

        I’d be impressed if it was worse than my 2015 celeron. Absolute piece of shit.

          Ouch. At this point you can probably get a chromebook that runs better.

            $299 ($229 if your store has it on clearance), gets you a full-fledged 15in laptop at walmart with i3, 8gb and 256gb ssd.

              Yes but that isn’t small and cute and has hot fans that blow hot air on you.

      If that’s all you’re doing, just get a Chromebook. Has a history of success.

      Those $200 machines are built to be reliable for kids to ruin them. I bought one five years ago and I’m just waiting for it to die, but it wont. It’s slow for anything other than web browsing. But it was a great solution for movies and bypassing paying for hotel entertainment.
