>What an unfortunate choice by Lenovo.

Well they didn't have much choice here. MediaTek, Samsung, and the rest are equally bad. The ARM SoC market is flooded with chips designed to have the shortest SW support lifespan possible.

Maybe Nvidia can get its shit together and put out a competitive ARM chip.

MTK has the advantage of somewhat available (leaked) design information and source code, and there's a pretty thriving Chinese developer community --- at least around their phones/tablets.

The fundamental problem is the refusal to publish driver source. Nvidia is one of the last companies on earth I'd expect to do that.
