I am not shocked by the price point as I am aware of this. The problem is whether I should instead of I could. You know, when you got a driving license, it is better to f__k with a HIACE to start with rather than fooling around with a Maserati and crash it in no time.

if you actually want to learn armv8 for development than get a honeycomb lx2k.
Yes, you are right. There are indeed better ways to learn about arm64. Here says,
