Except that it may not. You have the initial cost and then the $25 a month for basically the life of the Chromebook. Not to mention that it becomes rendered useless if you hop on a plane and happen to be on one of the many planes not equipped with wifi. Even if it does have wifi, it is just another expense to add to the cost to use a Chromebook as a development computer.

- sgharms 14y agoFair enough. I never travel, so the plane argument isn't really applicable. I also have linux running on this thing now so, i think that objection will go away soon. And yes, the VPS/month is a cost, but I pay that anyway regardless the platform. I like having my contexts preserved and constant on a machine whose costs I can expense for tax purposes.
