Chromebook

I got a Lenovo C330 from a friend, and put postmarketOS on it. Took a bit of work to get it installed properly but it works pretty well. While I wouldn't go out and buy a chromebook to run Linux, it's nice to have a laptop that can literally charge off of a phone charger and still be decently usable. No hardware video decoding is basically the only downside - it's a decent enough build, nice screen, good battery, and supports usb-c docks. The keyboard is total trash, but docked to a real kb+trackball, it's fine enough.

Always nice to know we can take back some ownership of proprietery junk sometimes.
