Longterm update on my Samsung Galaxy Book Go. I don't know why Celeron and Pentium still have a place in the market. Performance is pretty much equivalent to all Celeron computers I've ever tried, and I honestly can't tell when an application I'm running is 32 or 64 bit x86, or ARM. I think the only ARM apps I use are the ones from the Windows store and Edge, and even then, I don't think even all of them are. I might have downloaded an ARM app from a third party website from time to time, but I honestly couldn't tell you which ones based on performance.
Oh yeah, and battery life is unreal. It's way better than my iPad Mini 6. I've been a HUGE fan of the Mini over the years, having owned a 1st, 3rd, and 4th gen. This 6th gen is a huge let down in battery life though. Realistically only 6-8 hours, which is WAY too few for an iPad. It's usually closer to 6 hrs. What is this, an Acer laptop circa 2015? An iPad should be minimum 10 hours, regardless of size, IMHO. My Galaxy Book runs circles around it, and then goes for a half marathon attempt afterwards. I've never had such good battery life in a laptop form factor. I'm sure M1 and M2 Macs are even better, but those are at least 5x more expensive, and around 10x more processing power than I need. With far worse software compatibility on top of that.
So yeah, Celeron has no justification for its existence any more unless you have some mission critical application that MUST have guaranteed 100% x86 compatibility, and you need something low power. Intel should shut the product line down, and give the money back to the shareholders.
