A couple of months ago, as I was getting ready to attend MWC, it dawned on me that my trusty seven-year-old Google Pixelbook was no longer the powerhouse I wanted to believe it was. It was getting slow and a little frustrating sometimes, especially when browsing dozens of pages at the same time; using web services and Chrome extensions instead of proper apps was getting old; and the battery life was in the unusable 1-2 hour range.
