I would hesitate before going that route, at least in the first year. I think boot camp will be no longer be an option as this is just a drive partition with windows and that cannot work with ARM. The option would be running Windows in a virtual machine and that I always a bad idea, imho. I also wonder if QGIS will be available for those computers.

Perhaps an upgrade to Linux is worth considering, especially with Lenovo joining the list of companies supplying Linux laptops. Those Dell XPS running Linux are every bit as pretty and solid as an Air. For my part I will likely stick to System76.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">But I believe Microsoft released a Slate last fall running Windows 10 for ARM. I gather the main interest at this point is double the battery life.

Apparently this development sends developers scrambling unless they already have apps running on iOS.
