Anecdotal review of Lenovo C630 Yoga ARM64 / AARCH 64 Windows 10 laptop: great except for WSL2 not working, USB not working with Zoom
Pontifications
- I’ve had the Lenovo C630 Yoga ARM64 / AARCH 64 Windows 10 laptop since June 1, 2019.
- It’s great; great battery life, Firefox nightly AARCH64 works well, but there are quirks that might be showstoppers for you.
- USB is flakey; it doesn’t work well in Zoom (not sure Zoom supports ARM64 fully)
- WSL 2 doesn’t work (it works on some ARM 64 laptops like the Samsung Galaxy Book 2)
- IA Writer doesn’t work with WSL files (I use Typora instead) . To be fair it doesn’t work for x64 either!
- x86 32 bit printer drivers don’t work on AARCH64. At least the 32 bit driver for the Ricoh MP2504EX doesn’t work.
