As a Pixel 2 LS owner, crouton user and fan of ChromeOS: I'm not as hyped about this laptop as I thought I'd be... The high end model costs more than the LS did, but still sports 16GB Ram, and a slightly newer i7 processor. The SSD upgrade to 512 is awesome (the 64 on the LS can be a struggle), but you lose a bunch of battery life too. The pen doesn't do much for me, neither does the google assistant button. Although the tablet mode is a nice option, I just don't see it being worth the upgrade. Most importantly, they killed the light-bar. Those monsters.

> Most importantly, they killed the light-bar. Those monsters. I do love the light bar. Is the kind of details mac used to have (breathing led, magsafe, battery level indicator,...) that make some models special For me the reasons to switch would be: - Containers (and a lot of storage to use containers) - Wayland integration (xiwi is terribly slow, and while now I'm kind of happy witching between gnome/chromeos it would be handy to have everything in the same desktop) - Pen / tablet mode. coool! The assistant button I don't care either.
