The emulation works really well. I've found it to be hit and miss only with games. For example, I had to fiddle with the emulation settings to get War Robots to run. Another game I play (Vega Conflict) will sometimes randomly crash. Starcraft 2 runs flawlessly. Currently only 32bit x86 apps are supported, but I've heard they may eventually get 64bit emulation working (probably a year out). If there is one app you just can't live without make sure it has a 32bit version available before you purchase the device (or app for that matter). Look for native apps whenever possible. Firefox Beta includes support for ARM64, the new Chromium-based Edge will too when it gets released for the device (the included Legacy Edge is of course included). VLC (media player) has an ARM build.
