Personally looking at HPs new Chromebook line coming out [0]

Very sleek design, better than the Pixel imo, and several tiers if you don't want to start at $1k.

That HP does look enticing and I know it seems small, but I really like the Pixel 2015 having the USB Type-C on each side of the laptop. I can always plug in the cord without having to double back to run it under the laptop based on where the port is. Sometimes the extra foot lets me reach the power socket. (And less stress on the connector).

(Though the lack of upstream kernel support means that I will probably go back to MBPs for my next personal device. I've reverted to just ChromeOS + mosh client for now)

I have the 2015 Pixel and sadly the USB type C ports on either side are my favorite feature. I LOVE not having the chord wrap under the notebook.

Agreeing with the sibling comment, this does look great!

Know if there's any new Chromebooks like it that are shipping with an LTE chip? I have Project Fi, and would love to have data available wherever I need it.
