I’m thinking of getting the Surface Pro 11, but I’m nervous about it being ARM. I use a lot of programs (Scrivener, ProWritingAid, etc.) that don’t have ARM versions and might never have one.

How effective is the emulation? How does emulated software perform, and how often is software straight-up incompatible? Is there a lot of stuttering?

I don’t care about gaming. Only regular computer programs. I appreciate the advice.
