Are you guys crazy? This is a great computer, in case you didn't notice it's a tablet AND a laptop AND it runs Android.

As a long time Apple guy and mobile web dev, I can tell you this has several development advantages. I'm sure it will let you use Chrome development tethering to test and debug on Android devices.

I'm also a big fan of the Android ecosystem as it isn't a walled garden, a clear advantage for developers.

I'm tempted by this (had the previous 2015 Chromebook Pixel, ran great except storage is limited, which this version fixed, and the battery is now dying).

I've just splurged on some hardware this year though, but keeping an eye for this and hope that with Google's Pixel strategy they're now serious about hardware (yearly refresh etc.).
