You're being pretty un-fair.

T420

>i5-2520M
>4GB RAM
>1600x900 14"
>amazing build/design/keyboard

$154

You just have to figure out what is more important to you. If all you need to do if check your email, chromebooks are all you'd ever need. If you need to do anything even partially intensive, don't buy a Chromebook.

We also have to compare these by screen sizes etc.. a T420 would destroy any 14" chromebook. Hell, an X220 with a small SSD would destroy any chromebook around 12.5" in every way. They're just as light and cost the same. The resolution is just barely acceptable for a 12.5", though. Oh well, though. You're a moron to use 1920x1080 on a fucking 11.6" or even a 13.3" anyway.

lmao do you realize what kind of thinkpad you could buy with $999? it would destroy a fucking pixel, pro-tip. easily a 1920x1080 IPS, 20 hour battery life, fucking mil-spec build, more powerful..

Chromebooks have been irrelevant ever since the HP Stream line was introduced.

You literally cannot prove me wrong. Even if you HAVE to buy new and have fanless etc, the HP Stream is still better in every way to a cukbook.

Correct. Mainly due to the fact that after all is said and done you don't have shit left lingering on your hands.

Also, the Pixel 2 is legit as fuck. Fuck the Chromebook haters. It's easily the best constructed laptop I've ever used hands down. It absolutely shits all over macbooks. I don't give a fuck about hard drive space when there's expandable storage.

How well does Linux run if you just out right remove ChromeOS?

ChromeOS is okay, but from my understanding isn't so great without a connection to back it, so having full time access to LibreOffice would be nice. Not sure if a dual core Celeron would run Krita, but I may try.

both the XPS 13 and Lattitudes are good alternatives though.
