The list of unofficially supported Genode compatible systems..
might suggest that the most expedient path towards developing / working with Genode is likely the Thinkpad X250 or X260...

   Even with the i7 Skylake's on chip graphics, waiting for my Dell XPS 15 to join this list seems like it might be a bit of a long shot.

   Thus i write asking for an update on if I should spring for a Thinkpad X250 or X260?      last time I queried Norman mentioned one should order it with Intel's (user facing) remote management engine enabled..    ( always enabled for use by the NSA )...

 Any other features / configuration suggested for Genode development?

   I am also interested in cross development of Genode to ARMv7, ARMv8..
for ARM development, it seems like the Arndale Board is currently the path of least resistance?...   
   I currently have a Zynq-7000 (dual ARM9) based SnickerDoodle on my bench that may be fairly easy for Genode to boot up?  
 is Genode likely to support a more modern ARMv8 implementation likely in the near term?
