Netflix, Chrome, and Ubuntu? If you're gonna be that proprietary you might as well be on Windows or OSX in the first place.

I can do a hell of a lot of useful work with far less than that

I'm going to have to go with "far, far less" on that.

Are you aware that you can install a Linux distribution on just about any hardware? System76 are OK, I've never been wowed by them. Realistically, I would just go with a Thinkpad, unbeatable keyboard and great build quality (though lately Lenovo has been messing up on both of those)

What about the hunter gatherers that don't have access to as many non-meat options? Inuits, for example, ate mostly meat (with up to 75% of their calories coming from fat) because they were limited in what plants they could gather.

I think the more likely answer is that humans are capable of surviving on all sorts of foods, not "there is one hunter gatherer diet and it contained very little meat."
