I'm doing all my development on a HP Chromebook 13 G1. While the CPU is low-powered, and I since ditched the ChromeOS for a custom Linux, it's a fairly capable machine, and very cheap for what it offers.
My recent 1-year review is on https://llogiq.github.io/2018/03/02/chromebook.html https://llogiq.github.io/2018/03/02/chromebook.html
- tedmiston 8y agoAny chance you've considered getting a Chromebook Pro or Pixelbook? I've been eyeballing one to give Chromebooks for dev another shot as an alternate machine. I'm currently trying to determine between the two if the Pixelbook is worth the ~2x price tag.
- jimmies 8y ago>The downside is that I still have to press Ctrl + L at bootup and avoid pressing SPACE before the machine boots, otherwise the machine might try to overwrite my system with a clean ChromeOS install You can use flashrom to flash the UEFI firmware from MrChromebox. It will get rid of the ChromeOS recovery stuff and makes it a proper laptop. Remember to backup your data, as always.
