Python has a ARM64 installer BTW, you need to select a different option for it but it has one, the default is X64

[metalmlover]

Thanks a million man. I got a new surface and almost lost hope then I found your awesome video <3

[rombach]

This is literally the only use case i was worried about with these ARM windows machines. I work as a mobile developer among other things and I am from Argentina, so buying a laptop is a month salary at least. You saved me! If you can share your experience developing android apps now that you know it's possible would be great.

We need those new Lunar Lake laptops ASAP.

Please post a comparison of Android studio build performance. Would love to see the comparison between the M series and X Elite.

Lol I literally was dreaming about this last night and now your video pops up. Wild

[RealBrokoli]

I have never been this early, I don't know what to comment

[nikospsarakis]

If you don’t care about the emulator you can just install intelij (which has arm version) and plugins and code there.

[aforijikufemi]

I have no Idea what you are doing but I enjoy watching your videos.

🎹 Mechanical keyboard ⌨️ Once you start using it, hard to get off it !

[BenHewart]

Google Project IDX has android studio in beta and it's in the beta!

[santiagograviano]

That Eleven Labs trained voice in the ad, almost like a your voice

This should be a no-brainer. I don't understand why you can't have a process running the Android system on these machines. No virtualization, just a container. After all, the processor is very similar to the CPU of most Android phones.

Given that I have wasted many hours / days setting up different environments for different tasks only to realise it will / will NOT work, someone doing it for you and sharing is a great care !

Love you maan !!!

Good developers form really good community. They just cut the crap and come to the point. They just dont have enough time from debugging their code. They just know habitually how valuable it is to stay minimal, whether its about writing a code or making a video ...

(And of course no fake reviews. They just know they will be caught by others in the community...

Would like to have a comparison on X Elite and Lunar Lake.

[le_bouvier]

So given the hoops involved it seems to me that we are further establishing that for developers to cover all platforms all you need is an M-Seeries MacBook + any x86 device that can be used to compile x86 code. It seems like no one is doing Qualcomm any favors. Window ARM is still mostly junk and 2 Month's in Google still isn't supporting them properly. I really hope this changes, because we need better competition.

There’s a new alternative to nvm called fnm(fast node manager) and it has a native windows version

[MadafakinRio]

I wouldn't touch JavaScript with a 10-foot pole, especially for anything other than websites. Even if you want cross-platform apps I think there are native solutions.

[EivindGussiasLkseth]

The irony is that a Snapdragon PC is not suited to emulate a Snapdragon mobile device 😂

[Unizuka]

is it this simple for flutter as well?
