I would like to try one of these new PC’s. They run windows but these are NEW as they have ARM CPU instead of the normal CPU that you would have in a laptop. The question I have, are they more secure and less likely to get malware than other laptops?
Looks like the ARM computers (Qualcomm CPU , snapdragon) are getting traction now. Makes me think, are these PCs more secure than a standard Intel or AMD PC? Any windows vulnerability that exists would be here on the quallcomm CPU, right? What about other EXEs coded for Intel or AMD, my guess is all those malware EXE would not run on snapdragon/ARM laptops? Just thinking that since only certain apps/games will run, then that means only certain malware will run also. My thinking. Meaning a C++ app usually is compiled for a CPU type. That specific compile would make it only work on a specific CPU. Now there are other apps lets say made from .NET or from Visual Studio C# that I believe will run on Intel or AMD, then the questions is, will those apps also run on ARM? I think the answer is NO because they say there is only 127 apps available for these Snapdragon PCs. To me that means many malware will NOT run on these laptops. A big plus is that you have more choice when buying a laptop. Another big plus is the battery life on these CPU is built from the ground up to be low power. So you get more battery life.
Here are some games that appear to run on Snapdragon/ARM laptops.
