Why?  They have Winblows on ARM, apps can be compiled for it or
emulated.

Sure they can, it's efficient, as Andrzej says battery life for
laptops, but even as a desktop user, I'd like something without the
fan noise, using less electricity.  I wouldn't want to run Windows, of

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
