Has nobody mentioned Dell xps? I've been using xps for a few years with archlinux.. It's been mostly great so far.
Yeah once they figure out the monetization part, the ecosystem would be complete. They've been working on that. I don't think it is as efficient yet. But you can also look at Chinese version of tiktok, where they have already a full ecosystem and lots of people making lots of money off the platform.

Is this google's attempt to take on pinterest?
Yeah. It was the bottom right corner that I talked about. But some speculation says it was part of AlphaGo's plan so I am extremely looking forward to today's game now.

I am really excited about the Deepmind though. Looking forward to tomorrow's game!
