So I've had good experiences using a cheap £99 chromebook with crouton for Linux (Ubuntu 14)
Question: Is the Chromebook Pixel worth it or just a meme?

What's that? Couldn't hear you over your image.

I got a dell chromebook 13 i3 4gb ram for $520~ after tax recently.
Slapped a 256gb ssd in there and installed seabios and i'm running ubuntu mate on it. pretty comfy.

Truth is, the Chromebook Pixel is fucking gorgeous however it's basically a meme at this point. It's more useless than a Macbook however if you can get Linux on it, despite it having a minimal amount of storage, it can be pretty good.

Yeah I was thinking since it was £1000, I may as well get the similarly priced rMBP which I use at work and just werks so much. Just making sure it's not a meme, it is indeed gorgeous and I have preference for Linux due to distro choice.

Yeah it's real shitty that they fuck you over with 32GB of solid state storage, especially at £1,000.
What makes it worse is you can't even replace the SSD on the Pixel 2 since it is soldered to the circuit board

I meant 64GB, sorry. Turns out you can't get the lesser model in the UK, so you get the 16GB of RAM, 64GB of SSD storage and an i7. Still really shitty that you can't do much with it.
