My MBP was out of commission recently, with the video issue. I made do with an HP Chromebook for a month, using crouton to have ubuntu in a chroot. I was extremely pleased with the setup, and it barely affected my productivity at all. Emacs was a little slower to fire up and sift through my agenda files, but apart from that, I barely noticed the difference. When I wasn't working, it was great to use ChromeOS to surf or cast Netflix to the TV. I'd definitely consider getting a Pixel.
