And I guess now there's a Chrome extension that lets you just run Ubuntu (or whatever you installed) in a browser tab?
It's interesting that this is nearly what I've naturally arrived at with my current work MacBook. I got so tired of trying to get various Linux-y things running (and through OS updates) on OS X that I just created a Vagrant box that I can wipe and re-install at my leisure. Now 90% of my actual work is done on a virtual machine.
I'd have to figure out how to get port-forwarding working, and probably a few other things, but I'm willing to bet this new Pixel would make a darn good work machine.
Wait you can run Ubuntu on a browser tab? That sounds completely awesome. Now I really want one.. I just wonder if there's going to be enough space with the tiny SSDs they ship
This has also been my OSX experience. I bought a Toshiba CB2 a couple months back to see if ChromeOS could handle my workflow; It does. I want a pixel bad!
