I have been looking at Samsung's ARM chromebook. It looks like it might be the best of my options right now, but I would really like a higher-resolution screen, even if that meant a bigger screen size. (Every laptop is 1366x768 these days...)
- stevenrace 14y agoAh, that's understandable. To make better use of the smaller screen real estate, you may wish to look into using a tiling window manager (dwm, xmonad, etc) coupled with a 'full screen' browser like Conkeror which nets another 100px vertically by not having a tab/navbar.
- nkorth 14y agoI've been meaning to try a tiling window manager. Right now I'm working with Unity, Chrome, and either Vim or Geany depending on my mood.
- phaus 14y agoIf you aren't in a hurry, you may want to wait and see if Google's Pixel turns out to be real. I know that most people initially thought it was fake, but since then someone has found interesting stuff in Chrome's code. It may very well be fake, but if it isn't, it's probably gonna be worth waiting for unless you need something right now.
- nkorth 14y agoThe Verge says this about the Pixel: "Google’s greatest advantage is that it doesn’t need bleeding-edge specs to build a high-functioning computer." That could be exactly what I'm talking about.
