The hardware in that Acer laptop looks surprisingly similar to what a current flagship phone has in terms of resources if not exact architecture.

I guess generically in that it has a touchscreen, limited hdd size, etc. It's an i5 Intel x64 CPU though.

I believe my phone runs a 64bit ARM with eight 2.3ghz cores and has the same amount of ram as the base Acer model?

The i5 has 2 cores, different memory bus setup, cache setup, etc. If you're saying it has the same rough level of horsepower, that makes sense. Not at all the same architecture though.
