Wow I feel a little stupid, thanks friend.

Excuse my ignorance but who is wes Davis and why is he so stupid?

Did you ever use windows phone by chance? It was so beautiful and surprisingly easy to navigate. It was very inspired by the Zune design language.

I have no idea, I feel like the screen would be tough as it’s pressed with glass and the keyboard is riveted in I believe. It would probably be more doable for older iBooks and MacBooks that are plastic.

I know it’s off topic but I’ve always thought it would be cool to put a MacBook into a transparent plastic shell.

I wish the zune community was this extensive, maybe it is? I loved the zune too, honestly didn’t get the tribalism towards one or the other. An og model zune with a massive battery and some flash would be very cool.

This is super awesome. I’ve always wanted to do like a 1tb personal music archive one with a huge battery. The enclosure makes this one extra special.

While I don’t use safari as my main browser I don’t understand the hate. I love using safari when I’m trying to use a site that isn’t playing nice with Firefox or I’m trying to extend the battery of my laptop.

I’m sorry man, I really don’t like the way that happened. I was down for having a nice conversation about comparing the pros and cons of Mac OS, Crome OS, Windows, and other Linux Derivatives/Distros.

You’re right, they make premium ones too. I just started seeing these. Do you know if they offer more features other than build quality/screen quality/etc? I would imagine the Chromebooks would have battery life advantages at least over a windows PC equivalent.

You’re totally right. I was simply trying to make the point for using one over a chrome book considering the low impact work flow. I think there are some Chromebooks that cost as much as the MacBook Air? Who are those for?

Would you blame them for wanting a good machine? I know Chromebooks are fine for papers and browsing but like budget windows computers, they’re built like shit.

I remember using one called crunch bang on my 1.6 ghz Sempron machine.

I’m not well versed with Linux but I saw a lot of people saying open SUSE tumbleweed was pretty good. I’m gonna try this today for my new low power Plex/home bridge machine.
