Someone did this on purpose right - right ?
I know I have an unusual level of tolerance for horrible little computers, but now this Intel N100 Chromebook has been liberated from being a servant of the Eye of Saurun it's genuinely very zippy to use.
Yay ! That took far too much stuffing around but this machine is now a useful member of society.
What I’d like to say to you about high RAM + GPU prices is look, I’m sorted.

Ok, Intune** on Linux is relatively painless. The supported OS is Ubuntu which is horribly heavy for a VM - now to pick it apart so I can get it to work on Debian.

** In a virtual machine. It gives the organisation you register against root permissions on your device by design, consider it malware and never install it on your host operating system.

Wondering whether a virtual machine per customer with the Linux intune client is a measured response to needing to access everyone's 365 tenancies.
@thisisme I need to use intune which makes me tempted to get one as a dedicated work device - my only concern is the 365 suite is a genuine memory hog.
@thisisme you are using a Neo as your main machine for the trip ? How are you finding it ?

In response to the very weird criticism that you are only allowed to have an opinion on the MacBook Neo if you are running Linux on a used ThinkPad ...

+++ System Info
System = LENOVO ThinkPad X270 W10DG 20K50019NZ
BIOS = R0IET73W (1.51 )
EC Firmware = 1.18
OS Release = Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)

Where do I submit my qualifications ?

@zzt @fincham It is significantly more powerful than machines I still use to write code, write proposals, flash firmware, draw diagrams, manage infrastructure, read very strange takes like this. Do not take me for an Apple sycophant I do not like closed systems. But the narrative that you cannot compute without 64GB of memory serves no-one.
