I need my balls not to be cooked by the power-hungry processors.

I need a light shit because I walk with my backpack a lot.

I need the key layout on the keyboard not a pain in the ass.

I need my palm to be like little Fonzie. What Fonzie like? It's cool.

I need standard linux, because I don't care enough to learn about all the quirks of Apple.

I need to have a thing that is light, 3G-capable, has good key layout, cool, and I forget to mention, I'm cheap too. So ask me why do I need to spend 5 times as much for your Macbook again?

To be fair a Macbook is going to support Linux much better and longer term than the Chromebook.

Seen as it's an actual computer and all not a locked down Google product that needs to be rooted to install an OS in the first place.

Last time I tried installing Linux (/Ubuntu) on a Macbook it was a balls cooking experience with the combination of NVidia and Intel. Pure intel HD might be better, but why do I want to solve those problems in the first place?
