How about Linux on the new MacBook? It's a nice machine and my old lenovo looks a bit "unhipsterish" when I work in a cafe. Also it's heavier. But I live in Linux, so I would have to be sure it works.
- scholia 11y agoYou could look at a Yoga 3 with a Core-M processor: similar to the new MacBook but with more ports, touch screen, tablet functinality and less than half the price http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-Yoga-11-6-Inch-Notebook-Silver/dp/B00TGZX0MA/ http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-Yoga-11-6-Inch-Notebook-Silve... There is a performance hit because it has a an M-5Y10 instead of an M-5Y71. Depends how much you want to pay to look "hipsterish". I would pay more to look non-hipsterish ;-)

- Adaptive 11y agoI'm running Linux on a Dell XPS 13 (dev edition, FHD screen + i5 for power savings). Plenty of power for most of my laptop use, big "infinity" screen (thin bezel) making the machine small but screen big, and overall positive experience. It's also driving a 34" screen right now, and not breaking a sweat. http://imgur.com/WvGwGo9 http://imgur.com/WvGwGo9
