Honestly, a chromebook meets all your specs. They aren't really upgradeable beyond switching out the SSD for something bigger, but it's a perfectly cromulent choice for web/backend work. I used to do Rails 5 development on one, and it'll run a webpack server just fine.
Most Chromebooks can be booted with the distro of your choice, or you can use GalliumOS (optimized for chromebooks).
- eeeeeeeeeeeee 7y agoWhich chrome book would you recommend? I want something portable, that I can run Linux on, but I don’t travel a ton so I don’t want to spend 1k.
- ja27 7y agoI've been really close to picking up an Intel-based Asus Chromebook Flip like the C434 (still on discount on Amazon today) or older C302 (under $300 used). If I didn't have a daily driver Macbook and a stack of other Chromebooks I'd be sold.
