have been willing to put their money where their mouth is. Especially,
sadly, the free software community: given a choice between better
performance/lower cost and more freedom, they pick performance and
cost every single time -- well, save for the few of us who care.

Is there a chromebook/(laptop shipping with CB) with a backlit keyboard,
a decent size screen, and sturdy aluminium case? I see chromebooks
targeting either the cheapo market, or the fancy gadget market, but not
the mainstream or rugged markets. Is this because of a lack in demand,
or a lack in supply? I am among those that can reconcile with a higher
cost, but not a lower performance, and I am looking for a new laptop, BTW.
