So find a device that has sufficient ram, gpu, cpu and storage (ssd) to meet your needs. A usb3 port is a really good idea for external storage/expansion/future needs, imho. Also, Arm64 devices are plentiful now so 4 - 8 core arm64 based devices should now be (or soon will be) plentiful ,particularly in the run up to Christmas products cycles... Resource constraints are the biggest issue for 'smart devices', imho. Also beware that some 'product lines' have both 32 bit and 64 bit arm processors under the same product name. caveat emptor! hth, James
