lattepanda single arm board for windows 10
 

Would love to know what people think of this single arm board computer for windows. Does it work well or too many problems since it is relatively new? I have looked for reviews - haven't found too much.

I use banana pi right now, but would love to have windows on an sbc!

Not sure what opinions you can get about Windows...on a LINUX forum...????? If you'd like advice/reviews about how Windows performs on this device, you'd be better off asking on a Microsoft/Windows forum.

Those arm boards always have some issues in regards stuck to old kernel versions because the firmware or manufacturer hardly ships any updates.
I rather go for a 50 Euro mainboard with soldered cpu in itx formfactor. ordinary computer with passive cooling and boils down to nearly the same price. i did once the maths for rasperry pi and all the components in questions which was around 100 euros. for the same price you can get a mainboard with soldered cpu, one second hand ram module, one second hand harddrive and psu. than you have standard vga / whatever you want display connector, standard ethernet and a standard computer. without the madness and fuss of the arm platform. also arm quite often pipes ethernet and other stuff through usb which is really bad. those boards are designed for reading temperatures and such. they are designed to be quite small.

in regards of less fuss, in regards of being useable in the long run, being able to use a recent stable, secure linux kernel, you are far better off with a cheap itx mainboard with on board cpu / apu.

Looking at the rasperry pi thing:
Also those arm boards are stuck in my point of view in the technology / performance from 4-5 years ago. We all know how www-clients get more demanding, on how the RAM usage increases

afaik windows on arm is quite new. and quite limited, not everything works. decent review sites had articles about windows on arm platform a few months ago. I would not expect the same experience as on a cheap "ibm / amd64" itx mainboard

Would this work: downloading windows onto a micro-sd and using it in an orange, banana or raspberry pi?

Need to use something like that because they do not contain firmware, bios, hdd.

Again: This is LINUXQuestions....you are asking about Windows. Not going to be able to get much help here.

From what I can determine the LattePanda uses an Intel Cherry Trail Z8350 Quad Core Processor which is part of the Atom family which implements the x86 instruction set. The ARM Windows version which is designed for IoT devices at the moment only runs on Qualcomm or Broadcom processors. I don't think the tablet version will run on SBCs.

I think I know what you are implying but even the Raspberry Pi contains a firmware boot loader which is in the GPU ROM.
