    only if you are a first world dev that can shell out (good) used car money for an overpriced laptop. i bet you could get that in that overall performance ballpark for much cheaper.

          I got one from a startup I worked at a couple of years ago, and then when the whole Silicon Valley bank crash happened they laid me off, but let me keep it. And yeah Asashi is still pretty barebones mainly cause you can basically just use open source apps on it that can be compiled against it. I’m really hoping to see something like M series from China but using RISCV and with Linux.
