  • PC makers like Lenovo, Asus, and MSI have all opted for Windows-based handhelds so far, but as consumer patience with Windows on tiny screens wears thin and Microsoft’s progress in improving the experience is slow, it seems like OEMs are looking for a better alternative.

    Microsoft hasn’t make any progress on improving the experience because the Windows UI is simply not suitable for non-mouse environment, and you are not allowed to sell a Windows device that doesn’t provide the Windows OOB experience.

    Linux is the only sane choice with restrictions like that.





  • Yep, completely agree that its an Intel limitation.

    I didn’t see that about USB3 (my Intel system provides USB 3, and still has the 50 endpoint/25 device limit), I’ll take a look, however it sounds like AMD is just generally better.

    It’ll be a shame to lose Quick Sync, but it’ll probably be worth it.

    However this reiterates my thoughts about USB4, since it is a Thunderbolt derivative, and as mentioned in your link Thunderbolt doesn’t have these same limitations.
