Comment on Linux Laptop Recommendations

I'm wondering if Google will update their Chromebook Pixel, which was almost perfect.

I'm using a Chromebook Pixel running Arch right now. It works pretty well with KDE, and almost perfectly with GNOME, with the exception of­— stupidly— Chromium, which has pretty minimal high-DPI support.

That's interesting as I also use Arch and I'm looking forward to getting a second hand one.

Have they solved the EFI glitch when power was lost?

What's the baseline power consumption (as reported by powertop)?

I'm using a Chromebook pixel at the moment, with Ubuntu sideloaded and elementaryOS installed as a Window Manager on top of that. It's working pretty well.

I would pay serious money for a beefed-up i7 Chromebook Pixel with an actual hard drive that runs Linux. I love the non-MS keyboard.
