There are Chromebooks that you can buy today that give you best-in-class battery life with good suspend/resume, and run android apps as well as containerized Linux. Multiple/hidpi displays are handled, but I don’t know how good it is, so I can’t say for sure. Full HD is fine, and hidpi & 4K displays exist, so it’s not impossible, but I don’t know how good it is. These are generally priced quite competitively compared to MacBooks Pro and higher-quality wintel laptops, and they also have a lower-quality, lower-cost tier that’s very close to the cheap end of wintel. They have pretty good security as well, although the Google connection is a problem for some people. What do they lack? Photoshop/AdobeCC. The high end of PC games. Some direct hardware access things (due to the security model). If those aren’t a dealbreaker, then it’s actually quite good.
