2 months agoI’ve been looking forward for full chinese ARM computers for a while, especially now with all the work being done to run games and x86 applications in them. I’d buy a cheap, energy efficient Chinese computer to put some linux in it in a heart beat!
And i think that would put some pressure in the American tech firms that have been growing a little too comfortable and anti consumer for the last decade.
I don’t even live in America, so the fact that the bans don’t affect me color my opinion, of course. I currently have a Huion tablet and a Huawei phone among a wider bunch of Chinese devices and they have worked well for years and were very cheap. The phone, with a cheap plastic protector has fallen twice from roofs and it doesn’t even have a crack on it; And the tablet has no scratches in 5 years compared to my dead Cintiq that was full of scratches in it’s first year; In the end competition is good for the consumer. But we are finding out America was never about competition.
