No 16:10 (or preferably even taller, like 4:3) screen, no buy.

I really wish there was an alternative for the 16:10 mac I am using now, but there isn't anymore (apart from old ThinkPads, which I have many of[1]).

I tried some Microsoft Surface stuff but they felt very flimsy.

Even the Book? Flimsy is not a criticism I've ever heard about it.


Yes, in my opinion it's flimsy and feels cheap, not as bad as some cheap Asus laptops, but worse even than a Dell Latitude, and the Dell is way worse than a Macbook or a ThinkPad.

This is too bad, because the screen is excellent.

My understanding though is that it runs Linux poorly, which makes all this moot.
