I’m using 4-5 year old Pixelbooks. I think they’re discontinued now probably because the high price point ($999). But they last an extremely long time, durable

I’m using 4-5 year old Pixelbooks. I think they’re discontinued now probably because the high price point ($999).
But they last an extremely long time, durable, fast, simple.
I don’t use it for development, more so for day to day web browsing and when traveling since it’s smaller and thinner than average laptop.
I really don’t know what chromeOS hardware I would go with once the pixelbook dies.
Edit: anyone try the Pixelbook Go? Same price point as the original pixelbook and upgradable to 16gb ram.
- jeffbee 3y agoI owned a Pixelbook Go and it was good but it died after getting only slightly damp, wrecked the keyboard somehow. I can't imagine getting one today since at the same price point you can get the much much faster HP Dragonfly Pro. The only real drawback is the 14" HP is bigger and heavier than the 12" Pixelbooks.
- omjha 3y agoPicked one up this week! It may seem like there aren't any resources online for it (I'm working on a guide) but it actually works great! Just use a recent kernel and https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio for audio which works pretty great. Hardware is amazing, arch flies on this thing and the battery life lasts forever.
