Was considering this model... then I bought a GalliumOS-capable Chromebook for $180 bucks. It's not for everyone, but I think it's going to replace my RevA Retina MBP. ~20 hours of battery life, more than enough power to run Alacritty tmux'd SSH sessions to cloud infrastructure. Did I mention that it was $180?

To each their own, but I know 180$ would barely buy a stand-alone display of high enough quality for me to read from 8+ hrs a day, let alone an entire laptop with a display that I’d be ok with.

The amount of computing power people need tends to differ based on the stack they’re working with, but to me a quality screen is a hard requirement
