- dboreham 7y agoYes forgot to mention that. Although in 1st class you can use a Macbook 16...

- therein 7y agoI took my Chromebook Go to a 15 hour flight last weekend and it worked great. Incredible battery life. Amazing keyboard and perfectly usable on an airplane. Crostini to run Linux in a container supported basically right out of the box however I needed to pass arbitrary USB devices into my container so I set up crouton next to crostini and had: (1) ChromeOS (2) Ubuntu user-space running with crouton using the ChromeOS kernel, with full native access to the hardware and also all USB devices. (3) crostini's "termina" container running its own Linux kernel, with no access to the native USB devices except for the ones whitelisted by Google. The nicest thing is, you can set up a VPN client in crostini and can enjoy network isolation. I'd get on my VPN on crostini and do my trading there while everything else on the device goes through the default route, without the VPN. Also when it comes to how Google called that container "termina" really makes me think someone at Google wrote some quick code to spin up a PoC and then never changed the name.
- Kipters 7y agoThe Surface Pro also fits nicely on a 737 tray, you just need to find the correct placement for the kickstand, I usually take my Pro 4 while flying for this reason
- Wintereise 7y agoMy XPS13 9350 from 3 years ago fits comfortably on every airplane tray I've bothered to put it on as well. This is not a small or super light machine. That's not really saying much.
