yes but no. the pixelbook was by far and away the nicest build quality of any laptop I've owned, and the Linux containers has basically made it a normal laptop other than requiring chrome. with that said, I bought it second hand for ~$200 would never have even considered it for its original $1000 or whatever it listed at.

ChromeOS is also the most secure desktop focused os you can get so I usually use it for banking and stuff like that.
