ive been using high performance Chromebooks as my main Dev laptop for more than a decade.
if you buy a toy then it's a toy.
Yeah I've used ChromeOS on computers with decent specs and it's not bad. I don't like using it now because I care about privacy a lot more but when I did it was nice.
Just curious what sort of dev, and what kind of tools do you run on a Chromebook. Is it better than a standard laptop?
I do system level development for Linux, Android, and Windows.
I use rustc, clang, and MSVC depending on the target platform.
I can build iOS and macOS but testing is impossible without an iPhone or macOS device.
