Too bad software still doesn’t exist in Windows on ARM.
I don’t know that this is as true as it used to be. For my standard office-centric use case it’s fine. I just need Dropbox and the office suite. But a lot of windows software has ARM versions now. The only thing holding me back is the lack of an ARM Surface Go.
I wish decently powerful small laptops would make a return. I dearly love my 11" MacBook Air and I’m still astounded I can even somewhat use it today for various research and office work, but it could seriously do with an M1 chip and 16GB of memory.

I want Netbooks to come back for this reason. The only reason they failed the first wave was because nobody at the time thought to treat them as just smaller laptops that could be improved. They were just glorified pre-Chromebooks that were underpowered.

Technology has progressed since then so there's no excuse not to bring them back. I loved the idea of carrying something that small around and not have it hinder me as much as a full laptop could.
