#2This looks like the perfect laptop for me at this moment. I just worry that a ceiling of 8GB of RAM means it won't be the perfect laptop for me next year. And I'd like my laptop to last me 2-3 years.

#3It runs Ubuntu and costs about the same of a ChromeBook Pixel here a few weeks back. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9185526). Seems to be limited to 8 gigs ram, Pixel gives you 16 but has less HD space. No USB Type-C either...
How does the keyboard compare to a MBP? Love that keyboard.
Do they also include free Ubuntu stickers to cover up the Windows logo on the keyboard? :)
Would love to hear from real devs using this.

Second that, 8GB of RAM is a bit meager.

#6My Macbook Pro isn't even a year old yet, so I won't be replacing it any time soon. But hardware like this is finally competitive with Apple - I'd be taking a close look if I was in the market.
The fact that OS X has gotten worse and worse with every version makes me switching next time even more likely.

#78GB max RAM kind of rules it out for any heavy duty development.

I'd be concerned when trying to run a VM or two.
Since it's Ubuntu, it should have native Docker support so resource usage may not be all that bad?
