Hahahaha.

 

I found my old Surface RT that I used many many years ago.  It's actually a pretty good device.  Form factor is good and the battery life is stellar.  I can get thru a full 8-10 hours of use on one charge.  Even though it's not X86, it's remote desktop capabilities has allowed me to manage computers and services all over my network.  I miss this device.  It was actually very well underrated.

It was only underrated if your programs actually ran on it. I personally would have loved one at the time, just for browsing, PowerPoint and Word. Now x86 CPUs can get through a good 8-10 hour work day on one charge though, even my i7-1165G7. The Apple M1 absolutely destroys the 1165G7 though.

 

That said, I would have found it interesting to have had one of these myself. And it's interesting that the move to ARM is back on after the Apple M1. They've paved the way for more successful Windows on ARM devices to follow.

They tried to get windows on arm at least 4 times and every time they pulled out after it wasn't an immediate success and tried again later to just fail once more.
