alt Hacker NewsTechnical person that knows UNIX since being introduced to it via Xenix in 1993, and has used plenty of UNIX flavours since then.
Some of us like the experience of Visual Studio, being able to do graphics development with modern graphics APIs that don't require a bazillion of code lines, with debuggers, not having to spend weekends trying to understand why yet again YouTube videos are not being hardware accelerated, scout for hardware that is supposed to work and then fails because the new firmaware update is no longer compatible,....

Ok.
But with an x86 device you can run Windows and Linux. With an Windows Arm device it's probably only going to work with Windows.
It's not clear what real advantages Arm gives you here.

Your comment appears to address the question "why use Windows" (even though the answer doesn't really make sense to me), but that's not the question asked in GP. The question was "Why buy a Windows on ARM device"
