I agree with kris-s.
I want:

* Great CPU

* Touch screen
I essentially want a MacBook Pro with touchscreen and Linux. I know this... but I'm a really heavy Google user and if I'm not exclusively in Chrome then I'm dev'ing in a debian (with i3wm) I do not want OSX at all.
I could just get a Macbook Pro and blow away the OS, but no.
The Pixel looks perfect, except as a dev machine I'm unconvinced that spending the money just to discover later that it's going to not work for whatever reason is a good idea.
- jethro_tell 11y agowhy don't you pick up a c720 or whatever for $100 and mess around with it as far as using a chroot. IT actually works pretty well and you can either run debian chroot and i3 in the second vty or just a cli debian that you can ssh to if most of your tools are CLI.
- jalami 11y agoI do this, am on it right now, except I don't chroot. Just wiped out ChromeOS entirely because it's pretty nasty and installed Linux on SeaBios. I even bought a second one since it worked so well.
- heartbreak 11y agoThe MBP doesn't have USB C either. The MacBook does, but then you lose the CPU, storage, keyboard, and still haven't got a touchscreen.
- jamespo 11y agolook at the hp spectre x360... no usb type-c though (but do you really need that?)
- jcoffland 11y agoIt's not that hard to install Linux on a Macbook Pro these days. Still no touch screen though.
