I don't think there is touchscreen support still, also not sure if they have a 2in1 option. As well, any non gaming laptop I've used in the past whothehellknowshowlong has had great battery life, even the cheap used convertible Chromebooks I install Windows 11 on have pretty great battery life. Definitely does more than a MacBook Air and for a lot less

Touchscreen, tablet mode.

If I wanted to use the touchscreen, I'd rather get a tablet or use my phone. I would like to see the capability to open actual apps, not just chrome. In this case, even ipad is more capable than chromebooks because it can actually run lots of stuff, even video editing software.

We are talking about Chromebooks running Windows. Not Chromebooks running ChromeOS

You are so far behind in tech news my dear friend.

Please show me a Chromebook with 12 hours of battery life (Hell, even a x86 device) that has the same profile.

I'm pretty sure a Chromebook can't run D4 either o.o

Look, I'm down for the anti-Apple circle jerk, but let's hang on the side of reality, at least.

Please tell me where the anti-Apple circlejerk is, because lemmy is a sea of anti-Windows and Google circlejerking the likes of which have never been seen
