> 729,00 € = $1021 CAD! There's just no way this is going to compete with Chromebook which you can install Ubuntu as well or buying any slightly older laptops and installing ubuntu. what is the minimum cost of such "slim" devices? I'm optimistic that Chromebook will come down in prices and armed with built in cellular connectivity with ARM processor for that all day battery life is the ultimate dev tool. I enjoy using last year's macbook but I equally enjoyed using Ubuntu on my older laptop for development purposes.
