You probably won't get the same level of performance though.

Yeah, the 4GB of RAM would be an issue for me, and it doesn't look like you can put more with that chip. I just need something a little higher end and I could probably make do

Yeah, my PC has 16GB and it's contentedly purring along. The difference is quite noticeable when I browse YT with my 4GB ARM CPU Raspberry Pi. But the ARM platform is coming along. Just give it 2-3 years and it'll almost be on par with x86(maybe).

I'm using an ARM M1 macbook pro, also 16BG RAM, it is quite capable - longer battery life and wayyy less heat than my x86 macbook on heavy tasks, only downside is its a Mac - invasive OS and poor accessibility for repairs and such. I'll be happy to switch to an ARM/Linux when someone else can do it well enough
