gollark: I mean, that's... two architectures, and IIRC they're bad in different ways.
gollark: I expected to basically just use it for portably accessing stuff at home, but it turns out that most of my workloads run fine on this and my desktop's GPU was (still is, but I replaced it with a much worse one so I could use it workingly as a server) a bit broken so I use it for most stuff now.

gollark: That's an infinity percent return on investment.
gollark: It was refurbished and has a 7th gen processor. I got it for £140 and spent another £30 on an SSD and RAM.
