My current personal home laptop is a Chromebook with 4Gb Ram and a Core m3-8100Y. For daily browser usage I barely notice any performance difference with the work issued 16GB i7 laptop. So how about let people decide for themselves what they need instead of speaking for them?
- mark_l_watson 4y agoMy family is basically all-in on Apple gear, but to be honest, the little Lenovo Chromebook that I bought for $300, with keyboard case and pen, is amazingly versatile. The Linux container support is OK for running Emacs and some dev tools. I do a lot of dev using mosh/ssh on external servers, BTW. There are only two things that prevent me from going cheap: poor video performance when I plug it into my large USB-C external monitor; and, my addiction to the Apple Watch that is a device that makes me rethink how I expect technology to fit into my lifestyle.
