I wonder might Google be making a play for the Macbook segment of the market? That'd be interesting. Imagine a non-Windows high end laptop able to go toe to toe with Apple quality and design but running a very secure version of Linux. I know that Apple Macbooks are as popular as ever but there has been some grumbling that RAM is limited, the touchbar has caused a split in opinions, and there has been suggestions that Apple is trailing Intel's top of the line chip launches, and finally that Mac OS X is not getting the love that iOS is getting. Put that all together and maybe Google has a small window of opportunity to surprise the dev community and bring out a kick-ass Linux laptop workstation to offer true competition to Apple on their home turf. That would be pretty exciting, all the more so if they got within sniffing distance. Since the demise of SUN Solaris and SGI Irix workstations and the like Apple has had this segment (brawny Unix workstations) pretty much all to themselves in a way. Dream machine: Great Intel hardware, RAM up to 64G, decent graphics card, flawless 2D/3D drivers (minimum brawn needed for ML work), ChromeOS w/ dev tools a couple of command line scribbles away, software repo as large as Debian/Unubtu/Arch/Gentoo, ability to run Android apps, Secureboot and non-reboot kernel/driver updates, ability to install my won boot key if I so wish, fingerprint reader –– hey I did say dream machine!
