Google Hardware makes cuts to laptop and tablet development, cancels products
Please build me a Linux laptop for software engineering, Google.<p>For engineers only. No software support beyond ensuring the BIOS and the drivers work and are updated.<p>I <i>hate</i> Dell, but I got a Dell XPS 15 because it was the only laptop I knew would: boot Linux reliably; last two Ubuntu LTS upgrades (4 years); have a high spec (i9 etc); and was reasonably priced (Apple tax was 50% higher for worse hardware).<p>Is it impossible to make a laptop better than Dell or Apple? Google: how much goodwill would you receive through developer love? Why do I have to pay for Windows when the OS division seems to be actively working against making my work easier? Google, you have the skills and size to make a secure laptop.<p>Google, maybe it is because most of your engineers internally just need a good terminal, instead of a fast laptop?
