    Hey,

    I got offered a Vivobook S16 with Snapdragon / Adreno, CoPilot Laptop.

    Looking back 1 year, regarding gaming, adobe stuff and 3D stuff, it wasnt even recommended to grab a ARM Laptop. Random crashes, audio rendering issues, fan issues, lousy emulation etc.

    And most videos are indeed 1 year old.

    But hell, it has a CoPilot key! :p

    Id like to use Office, Photoshop, youtube, daily surfing and ocassionally some gaming, like steam.
    Randomly joining company networks and/or domains and a lot of different WiFi networks.

    Any strange behaviour in windows domains?

    Looking at recent videos/tests, it looks much better already. But still far from perfect.
    Especially focusing on adobe stuff and gaming. :(


    Are there any Windows ARM users here, that might share their experience?

    Would RAM and WiFi Card be soldered in all models?

    Would a VivoBook S16 Snapdragon a good choice as a daily work laptop?
    It will be very cheap, so the price isnt the issue. But if its still no recommended, Id be happy to hear it here. =)
