I want one, b/c UNIX and USB-C charging fits my personal needs very well. But the devices are either so cheap or badly equipped storage wise (Pixelbooks) that my 8 y/o Thinkpads outperform them. So I guess a MacBook will be my next buy in a few years to again have an ultra portable 10-year-proof device.
- derekp7 5y agoFor me the best thing about Chromebooks are the tablet experience (either 2-in-one or detachable keyboards). Specifically, the fact that touch screen isn't implemented the same way a mouse is, but gestures work the way you expect (i.e., swiping on a browser window scrolls it instead of selecting text like a mouse would). Also, the browser is a desktop style browser instead of tablet / phone style. And once they included the ability to run Android and plain Linux apps, that made it much more useful. Still not a full PC / laptop replacement for all my use cases though, but a nice accessory.
