Zorro is Intel code. It runs on ARM when you have a Windows emulator on that system.

Thanks for that rapid response.

What does "intel code" mean?
Does that mean that Zorro OS-specific or chip-specific?
(forgive the noob question)

Currently looking at this ARM based (snapdragon) windows developer desktop that got announced recently:

Chip specific. Windows emulators on ARM must not only emulate the Windows system, but also interpret Intel processor code with ARM processor code.

What's your motivation specifically to get this desktop? Did you plan on developing ARM apps? If not, consider an x64 desktop. Not to mention that chip emulation is usually slow.

I might be travelling to and fro and would need a portable desktop device. Now looking back, I suppose I might as well use a server.

Most Windows-based laptops and mini-PCs will also work, except for the ones with ARM processors.
