I recently got a 2017 Google pixelbook to replace Razer stealth 2017 that I unsuccessfully tried to replace 2017 MBP with. Similar to OP (little less emotion maybe), I flashed coreboot[0][1] on it and installed Ubuntu[2] (display brightness, audio doesn’t work so I have usb-c audio adapter) - couldn’t be happier: keyboard is excellent, it’s light, it was relatively inexpensive (for low end i7, 512gb , 16gb ram), it’s silent (no fans), display is 3:2 aspect ratio (I think) and it’s not 4k, hardware feels nice and solid. Other than audio issue, Ubuntu runs solid on it after some tinkering. If you’re willing to tinker with it s bit - Google totally nailed it on this![3] [0] https://www.coreboot.org https://www.coreboot.org [1] https://mrchromebox.tech https://mrchromebox.tech [2] https://www.reddit.com/r/elementaryos/comments/9vu3hm/juno_on_my_pixelbook_looks_amazing/ https://www.reddit.com/r/elementaryos/comments/9vu3hm/juno_o...
