Thought I'd better move this to a thread...
Eg The Framework chromebooks are "proper" work machines:

The Framework Laptop comes in pre-built configurations with up to 32GB of DDR4-3200 and 1TB of NVMe SSD storage. We use Western Digital’s SN730 SSDs to deliver 3,400 MB/s read speeds with great power efficiency. With two SO-DIMM sockets and one M.2 2280 socket, all models are upgradeable to an insane 64GB of memory and 8TB of storage.

Thanks @valid maple

As I said at the summit, the generic ones you see at JB Hifi are just way too under-powered for my liking.

💯 Ian, those consumer models aren't really worth it if you want to use them for work. But eg. one of the Dell models spec'd out with 12th gen i5/i7 and at least 32GB, with builtin Linux container support, built in Android container, no hassles ChromeOS, now that makes for a great dev machine (as long as you dont need to build iOS apps! 😉

That sounds perfect. For the iOS side, I have a Mac Mini on my desk that is purely used as a build server for x86_64 code that I write in Go. So I could just repurpose that as well.

#

Just checked out the Dell site and they even look good. Normally Latitude laptops are clunky looking things, but these look nice.

#

But it still has a barrel jack for power. 😢
