Reply to comment by thelegendarybirdmonster in I may be forced to get a new laptop soon. I'm considering getting something more affordable, that runs smoothly with Linux, and covers my needs. Can you help me out? (Details inside) by An_Old_Big_Tree

It has an ARM cpu so Idk if it would be suitable for their usage - desktop publishing especially, particularly if they need to use Wine with it to run Indesign. They should stick with an Intel architecture rather than a cheap cellphone chip that will be limited in what applications it supports.

I guess that the problem's in how the PC processors market is monopolized by two big companies, so any more grassroots tech business has no choice but to go for ARM for more open designs. Sux.
