Kinda? It really should be treated as a 1st generation product for Windows (because the previous versions were ignored by, well, everyone because they were utterly worthless), and should be avoided for quite a while if gaming is remotely your goal. It's probably the future, but the future is later... assuming, of course, that the next gen x86 CPUs don't both get faster and lower power (which they are) and thus eliminate the entire benefit of ARM.
And, if you DONT use Windows, you're looking at a couple of months to a year to get all the drivers in the Linux kernel, then the kernel with the drivers into mainstream distributions, assuming Qualcomm doesn't do their usual thing of just abandoning support six months in because they want you to buy the next release of their chips instead.
Windows is dead to me. Arm Linux would be a wet dream
I'm having the same dream, but I don't trust Qualcomm to not fuck everyone. I mean it'd be nice if they don't but they've certainly got the history of being the scorpion and I'm going to let someone else be the frog until they've proven they're not going to sting me mid-river.
