Convince me not to buy this /g/.
I already have a decent desktop (i5 + RX480), but I don't have a laptop.
I want something light with good build quality. I'm too poor for a Mac, and I hate windows.
I can get a brand new Chromebook pixel for $320 with the following:
I5
4GB RAM
64GB of flash
2560x1700 touchscreen
Good speakers
Good touchpad
Supposedly it is the fastest normiebook laptop
Now the following bothers me:
-Drivers may not be available for Windows and Linux for touchpad/keyboard (can't verify).
-It's not receiving Android apps, but I don't know what I'd use that for.
-Its a 2013 model laptop
-I'm afraid there is something I'm not thinking about
Am I stupid for wanting to drop $300 on this? It's only $100 more than a typical Chromebook, and I don't have to deal with a shitty 1280x800 screen with a Celeron.

It runs ChromeOS, so it's marginally more useful than a clod of dirt.

Discord, Spotify, and Office all have proper web apps.
I'm trying to figure out what I won't be able to do on it over a normal laptop other than retro gaming (which could still be possible if there are drivers for it with crouton).
Can you think of something major that doesn't run on chrome?
>>
>>60108347
unless you just want to shitpost, you will fucking hate/love the thing because it's beautiful but you need to install linux because ChromeOS is just ShitpostOS.
This coming from a guy that bought one just to fuck around and uses it every other day to browse the web and annoy people here.

Check the Ebay Floating Standard Price...e.g. see what people are buying them and selling them on ebay for, and take an average, removing obvious outliers and taking into account the condition of your model.

HDR, at least 4K and UW can be used without special and rare content. HDR content doesn't and won't exist, and there's no effective way to "upscale" color depth like resolution

There's absolutely no reason why you should be using anything more than nano, make and maybe some shell scripts for quality of life improvements, like opening files at a specific line.

I tried logging into 4chan earlier today, but it kept redirecting into OpenDNS stating that "this domain is blocked.". I was using Google's public DNS.
But when I switched my DNS address to UncensoredDNS's, I can browse 4chan again. Then I switched to Google's again to see if it still blocks it; but I got through to this site anyway somehow. Can anyone explain what just happened?
Anyway, what are some /g/ approved DNS addresses?

I know Raven Ridge will probably give something faster than this, and on graphics it will probably (and hopefully) destroy Intel HD and even Iris, but holy fuck, how late can AMD get?

Ryzen will finally bring a reason to have a laptop with an AMD CPU, their APUs better be good or they will lose the laptop marking.

It wouldn't make a lot of sense to put non-APU Ryzen chips in a laptop.
