Laptop model: Samsung ChromeBook
CPU: ARM
RAM: 4MB
Screen: 11"
Personal comments: 5-7 hours battery life. Sufficient when out and about to get stuff done without having to lug around a power adaptor. Used to use a 2009 MacBook Pro, but the battery (3rd party replacement) life is only 1.5 hours or so. Not enough to get me through a day.
For getting work done efficiently, I prefer my desktop system with 3 LCDs, 2 landscape and 1 portrait for editing code, etc. I find even the biggest laptops limiting in terms of sufficient screen space to edit code, refer to specifications and test the application. With 3 screens I typically have 5 concurrent windows and a total of around 15-20 windows (not counting browser tabs). Also helps that the desktop has 64MB RAM and quad core CPU. And the best part is that it cost less than the MacBook Pro that I was tempted to buy.
- ArtWomb 7y agoAm with you mate regarding the Samsung Chromebook 3. Terrific portable for coffee shop use. My goal was to use it as a workstation without ever entering developer mode and so far have succeeded. The browser based SSH app and a cloud vm suffice. The one thing I have not been able to get working is a self hosted Cloud 9 Core IDE instance running in the browser tab. I would be very interested in building or producing an ultra lite weight, kid-friendly, self-hosted cloud IDE specifically for ChromeOS ;)
- quaquaqua1 7y agoWhy not just put Lubuntu on the SSD inside the Chromebook? I'm assuming the application in question runs on Linux but not ChromeOS. I ask because I am thinking about buying a refurbished chromebook for $80 and throwing Lubuntu straight on it and never looking back :)
