BRAKE FOR MOOSE
Jun 6, 2001

Well, I'm a convert. I bought an Acer 314 ($179 at MicroCenter) solely for a cheap, light-ish laptop that I can take on running commutes and not worry about murdering it. My main intended usage was just for presentations, Google Docs, Office apps, Zoom, etc. but the thing has totally won me over and I'm impressed with what the little Celeron can handle. It has a meh display but I can do everything in my workflow except for Adobe CS stuff; I did not expect that it would instantly replace my Windows/Ubuntu laptop for coding once I got the Linux environment whirring (all my computationally-expensive code is executed remotely anyway) and it seems to even play 4K video fine as long as that's all it's doing. With cloud storage and remote desktop I can't see myself getting a power laptop again.
