Give a Pixel Book a try.
It has plenty of differences from Mac OS, but most of them are positive.
If Google could get Adobe on-board with Linux support, and built a consumer foot-print a la Apple, I'd probably go there.
Dealing with their crappy third-party resellers is just a non-starter. It says that Google doesn't stand behind their own product with their own customer service, and I just can't abide that.

- abnry 7y agoWith crostini you can now run linux apps. It is still in beta.
- zchrykng 7y agoAh, good to know. Haven't tried Chromebooks in a while because I didn't want only a browser. Might revisit when this hits stable.
- computerex 7y agoIt's a dirty dirty myth that you can only run Chrome in ChromeOS: https://github.com/skycocker/chromebrew https://github.com/skycocker/chromebrew You don't even need Crostini.
- numbsafari 7y agoYeah, I was running Firefox via crostini for a while and it worked really well.
- agloeregrets 7y agoI tried this by the way, you pay in performance in a big way. Even if you don’t need hardware acceleration the general compile performance is bad, about 3X longer on a large angular project than a MacBook Air.
