How's the Pixelbook? Anything missing for software development? Can you run everything without needing crouton/ubuntu installed?
- drcode 8y agoWorks great, just enable linux support and you can apt-get whatever you want and run UI apps right next to chromeOS windows. Glitches are few and far between, though it's still only a beta feature. EDIT: Yes, the lack of GPU support is still a major limitation.

- drcode 8y agodebian version of UI emacs works great
- jayd16 8y agoThe GPU (or lack of it) leaves something to be desired if you want to build anything graphics intensive, but its quite a nice machine otherwise.

- jacksmith21006 8y agoBeen using for a bit now and not even turned on my Mac since buying the pixel book. Everything has worked so far. Love being able to use the exact same containers on my laptop I use in the cloud.
