I'm sure it's a fantastic machine, I just can't understand what niche this is aiming for... there seems to me to be a better alternative to this machine for anybody...
Chrome OS developers?
Chrome OS developers?
I tried using a tablet for this, but as an emacs users, I have very specific keyboard bindings that the tablets always had issues with.
I've been using an old Thinkpad T61 but it just seems a little bit underpowered/dated/inefficient now - considering jumping to something new.
I've been really surprised at how smooth the experience has been, especially since I'm running ubuntu in chroot.
It's not quite powerful enough to play minecraft, it runs but really slowly.
So definately no, developers are not a niche market for this toy-device althoguh I admit that I like my Samsung Chromebook (and Iinstalled xubuntu too on it...).
It fills a niche in my life, I never claimed it would help anyone else.
