I continue to maintain that Chromebooks are toys. Any real productivity is just not possible with them. I would rather an older Lenovo ThinkPad T4XX series that I bought off of Amazon than a brand new Chromebook.

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.

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.
