Definitely - though I can literally take 0 credit for coming up with anything myself....but I am happy to write a quick summary here with the relevant links that helped me out and then if people want something more formal I can do that somewhere too and hopefully u/MrChromeBox will be kind enough to link to it on his site.

​

so here goes

​

Step 1: Drink a beer or two

You need some steady hands for this but also need to give yourself some confidence before potentially destroying your beautiful £1000 glorified web browser....

​

Step 2: Make sure you have the right tools for the job

​

Specifically you will need:

​

- 2 USB C / USB 2/3 Flash drive (or an adaptor plus 2 flash drives)

- something like the basic tool kit from iFixit

- BUT you will also need a stupid T3 Torx screwdriver for 3 of the screws which isn't included, still it is cheaper just to buy that seperately rather than spring for the full 'ultimate repair kit' from iFixit

​

Here are the links for what you need on amazon:

​

Basic iFixit kit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MRNIFR6/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_0fV5BbX0RZQS4

T3 Torx Screwdriver

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013703EG6/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_CjV5Bb0ZWXH04

​

Or this kit actually probably has everythign you need, the ifixit one just has a few nice extras for any future repaires

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00445Y48G/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_WiV5Bb3S6AT6

​

Flash Drives

- You need two flash drives, 1 for the elementary os iso to install on the pixelbook at the end and a second one for when you use the awesome UEFI firmware developed by u/MrChromeBox to backup your chromeOS in case everything goes to shit...

​

You may be able to use regular USB 2/3 flash drives with a USB C adaptor, but in my opinon since the Pixelbook only has USB C ports, you might as well invest in dual USB C / USB 2/3 drive now as you will end up needing it at some point (I used this for the elementary OS iso and a regular USB flash drive with an adaptor for the firmware backup)

Amazon links:

​

- USB C/USB 3.0 Flash drive:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07H24MCRQ/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_etV5Bb6JP78KC

​

-USB C / USB 2/3 Adaptor

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B015Z7XE0A/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_muV5Bb0Z1KDDQ

​

Step 3: Download Elementary OS Juno and donate some money to the developers

You can get the iso from www.elementary.io and if you don't know how to flash it to one of the flash drives mentioned above, you should probably stop now - but there are instructions on the website and Etcher is a good cross platform tool for the job (www.etcher.io)

​

Step 4: Pray to the linux gods, drink a beer and back up any data you care about on your pixelbook

​

Step 5: Put your pixelbook into developer mode (fairly safe)

Again, I can't take credit for this but there are great instructions for how to do this on https://mrchromebox.tech/#devmode

​

Enabling Developer Mode

>Entering Developer Mode requires you to first boot into Recovery Mode. For Chromebooks, this means pressing [ESC+Refresh+Power];
>
> Once at the recovery screen, press [CTRL+D] to enable developer mode, then confirm when prompted. As a security measure, transitioning to/from Developer Mode will wipe out all ChromeOS user data, essentially powerwashing (resetting) the device.
>
>Exiting Developer Mode is as simple as following the instructions on the Developer Mode boot screen (usually pressing [SPACE]), but may require resetting the firmware boot flags if you've changed them. As with entering developer mode, exiting will wipe all ChromeOS user data, so if you plan on keeping your device in developer mode, it's a good idea to set the firmware boot flags to prevent accidental exiting and loss of data.

if it's USB-c I believe you can just use a USB-C to USB adapter

Here’s what I settled on for my wife’s 2018 MBP:

• Magnetic charging cable
  
• USB-C adapter with PD, HDMI, and USB 3.0
  
• USB-A to USB-C adapter
  
  
  I organized it all into a small zipper case for her. The only thing she’s used so far is the magnetic charging cable, which she absolutely loves. The other two will come in handy some day, but she mostly works in an environment where files are shared via Google Drive and things are printed wirelessly. She enjoys it so far, but her usage case may not be typical.

Yeah, one of these (supported by urtwn) in one of these. Not ideal, but hopefully temporary.

Try a different adapter. There’s some cheaper ones that don’t do data and some that do. Official Apple ones will do the trick. There’s even some amazon basics adapters that don't work with data. Lemme dog for the third party I use that works well. One sec.

edit: found it https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015Z7XE0A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you travel or commute with your shiny new laptop, how about a second power supply like this one. Also there are a million port replicators, HDMI dongles, etc. so I ended up buying this one, which has just what I need. And you can't go wrong picking up one or two of these.

This works well for me

nonda USB-C to USB 3.0 Mini Adapter [World's Smallest] Aluminum Body with Indicator LED for Macbook Pro 2016, MacBook 12-inch and other Type-C Devices (Space Gray)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015Z7XE0A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_7XuvybQNBN02G

Yeah that's what he's saying. You need an adapter such as this one (do your research, I just picked the first one). You would then plug the ethernet adapter into that. Think of the dock as a gigantic version of the product above that can also do HDMI to your TV.

You seem to misconstrue what a smartphone actually is. A smartphone is a computer in your pocket. So:

1: Can a computer be used productively without becoming a distraction?
This is on you. If you load up a computer with games and browse facebook all day you can do the same thing on a smartphone and be just as time wasting.

2: In terms of being used for work, how useful are computers?
Extremely, especially a small handheld computer you can take with you to lunch in case of emergency calls at work, or on the train when you're traveling you can respond to emails, or even tether to your laptop if you opt for that in your plan.

3: What are the things that I probably don't know a computer can do for me?
Remember, you are holding a fully functional computer that just happens to be very small in your hand. If you get a USB host adapter for your phone (either USB-C for the latest phones, or MicroUSB for older phones, or Lightning for an iPhone) then you can literally plug in a keyboard and a mouse and go to town. Actually, you can even plug in USB external monitors on Android devices and use a bigger screen!

That is the premise of the Superbook, which is coming out in a few months. I plan to completely replace my laptop with my cell phone and the Superbook, which is just a fancy dock for a cell phone.

4: What's the point of a computer if I do everything on a sheet of paper?
This is the Galaxy Note 4. See the fancy little pen right there? It lets you write on the screen, just like a piece of paper. I have this phone and love it so much I refused to upgrade to the (famously explosive) Note 7.

This is the OneNote app. It's free. There is a similar app available for your computer, both Windows and Mac. You can literally do the same exact thing you do right now, what with the binder and calendars and whatnot else, only with a device that weighs less than a pound. What happens if you don't have your binder with you? What do you do if you need to add something to your calendar right now but don't have the binder handy? Have you ever misplaced the binder? OneNote syncs all of your notes up to the cloud. You could throw the phone in the shredder, get a new phone, install the app, log in, and have all of your notes handy.

The point of a smartphone is to do everything a computer can do, in a small and portable form factor. That has always been the point of the devices. If you do not know how to efficiently use a computer to organize yourself, you probably won't see a lot of benefit out of it. But if you spend some time learning to use the (mostly free) software out there designed for the workflow you have, you will find them to be invaluable.

I can do everything I need to do while traveling from my phone. Email, phone calls, calendar, checking into flights, google research, chatting, everything. To the point where I'm buying that Superbook I mentioned above simply so that my phone is easier to use if I need to write a long email.

I've recently returned my 15" 2016 tbMBP because whenever I connected devices to any of the USBC ports my WiFi just completely cut off. Almost like an on/off switch it happened immediately. I was told it was a defective product and am expecting my replacement. What should I do if the same thing happens again? Worth noting I tried 2 different devices, the first one was this hub: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ZWKI7T4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The second one was an EastWest 1TB hard drive, USB-A 3.0 going through this adapter: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B015Z7XE0A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Don't use a hub. just get a usbc to usba dongle. use it for a sensor, not the headset.

a to c

Whatever you do, steer clear of Mosiso. Worse case maker ever.

I would suggest you try something like Moshi iGlaze cases. And use adaptors like this one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B015Z7XE0A/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1524063774&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=usb+c+adapter&dpPl=1&dpID=31Q57GvJiSL&ref=plSrch

This is the one that I bought for my RTX 2080 for the Rift S and it works fine, so as far as I can tell any old adapter will work.

Hmm interesting......I still would not buy the preloaded SD card....very sketch; it's possible Nintendo hasn't set their eyes on it yet, but to each his own I guess.

Well I literally just switched a couple days ago from a 400GB card to a 512GB card because I was low on space.....so take that as you will. I have a lot of games on my cards plus I also have the entire pFBA and pSNES romsets as well as the NES, N64 and a few PSX games on my card which is well over 100GB to begin with. So it's up to you how big you want your card depending on what games you get of course.

Not sure if you already knew, but SX OS has the capability to load External Hard Drives or flash drives from the Switch dock and/or the Switch itself. If you get something like THIS, you can just plug an ExtHDD into it and SX OS will read from it. You need to get the SX Installer from their main site which basically has an internal file browser in it. So what I do is put my XCI games (Which are basically the Switch cartridge format for games) onto any flash drive I have and plug it into the OTG adapter I showed you here.........Then, I can either load them off the flash drive through SX OS or I'll go into the SX Installer file browser and copy them from the flash drive into the SD card that is in my Switch.......that's up to you if you'd rather carry around a flash drive or just copy them to the SD card that is already in your Switch. This way I never have to remove my SD card.

​

Make sure you also get the most recent "boot.dat" file from the SX site as well which needs to be on the root of your SD card when you boot SX OS.

What about link 1 plus link 2?? I don't see why it wouldn't work tbh - thoughts?

Yeah, you can get this adapter for your MacBook or step up to 500GB Samsung which uses USB-C

Yes – you can use your MacBook Pro with any Bluetooth mouse. If the mouse requires connecting it via a cable to pair it initially, you can get a fairly inexpensive USB-C-to-USB-A adapter on Amazon in order to accomplish that.

I have used several of Apple's adapters and this Nonda adapter with no issues. Your mileage may vary.

These work nice and are relatively clutter-free: https://primenow.amazon.com/dp/B015Z7XE0A?m=A1PDIPZWKAU9IY&psc=1

Shit sometimes the makers of the consumer laptops are so stingy they won't even add USB Type-A ports. You know, the port EVERYONE's been using for 10+ years for many things. Not that Ethernet ports aren't good to have or anything.

I really don't want to have a dozen of these floating around:
https://www.amazon.com/nonda-Adapter-Thunderbolt-Aluminum-Indicator/dp/B015Z7XE0A/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=usb-c+to+usb-a+adapter&qid=1556863620&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Dell disappointed me with their XPS 2-in-1 laptop when the boneheads decided to not put a single USB Type-A port. Like what's the point? If I wanted no USB Type-A ports I'd get an iPad Pro. Oh well, at least the HP Spectre x360 15t has one, ONLY ONE! Those are laptops that cost a bit over $1000 too, so I don't understand the lack of Type-A, I understand the want for Type-C and Thunderbolt 3 but 95% of my peripherals are USB Type-A whether it's USB 2.0, 3.0, or whatever the fuck USB calls it anymore.

Hey, I know this thread is older but did you ever figure this out? I just got my SR2 today, and am running Mojave on a 15" touch bar MacBook Pro. I think I'm having the exact same issue - installed the drivers and said it was successful, and it will even work, but it will randomly disconnect and then the touchbar freezes and I have to completely reset (not just restart) my computer.

The USB C adapter I'm using at the moment is:

Thanks for any input!

A dock with USB ports would be a good way to do it, but apparently the GameCube adapter will work even if you only use one of the USB ports (the black one).

https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/2n2ypj/so_you_only_need_to_plug_is_one_usbthe_black_one/

You won't get any rumble, but all four controller ports should still receive input. As such, you can use a much cheaper USB C to 3.0 adapter, however this of course means you'll need some way to prop the Switch up unless you're fine with it lying flat, and you won't be able to charge the console while using a GC controller.

This one would do. I actually have it on my to-order-at-some-point list since I just got a new Macbook Pro in that color - it's designed to match it. But since all I really use the USB ports in my laptops for is USB drives and charging, for the moment I just ordered a thumb drive that has both USB-A and USB-C connectors. It'll do for now.

You can, but Remote Play won’t pick it up if you connect directly to the MacBook’s Bluetooth stack (the Windows RP app works the same way; I assume it’s because Sony is doing some weird low-level BT stuff to support low-latency audio on the controller’s headphone port).

You can buy a USB-C to micro-USB cable and connect the controller directly to your MacBook instead.

The other option is to buy a USB-A to USB-C adapter so you can plug in either the official Bluetooth dongle (which is expensive and kinda bad) or a standard USB cable.

Price you pay for portability, but most people only use the port to charge anyways. If you need adapter a mini usb-c is small enough. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015Z7XE0A

Among the Elgato products, I chose the Cam Link because it is very small (it's basically a USB drive, 8cm x 3cm) with an HDMI input on one end and an USB output on the other end. So small enough to be added to your backpack without trouble. For your Macbook, you'll also need some USB-C to USB3 adapter, though, if you don't have one already. Maybe something like this.

Elgato also has a high-end external game capture card with an HDMI output so that you can output your feed to a TV at the same time as capturing it with a computer, but I didn't need that. And it's more expensive. I bought the Cam Link on Amazon Canada so you can look up the price there.

Enjoy your portable setup!

your xbox controller uses micro usb. so just use that. you already have that. besides, micro usb to usb c adapters are like $9 on amazon and very sleek/unobtrusive.



https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015Z7XE0A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I ordered a couple different cheaper adapters to try them out. Bought them from Amazon.ca but I imagine they sell them on .com too.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01EL4PVFE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B015Z7XE0A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

well they work fine for A to C and using one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015Z7XE0A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 would allow it to work fine on a system with only type C. If one were to add the resistor to the existing board it would work, but that's some awfully tiny work

I have this which I'm using with my keyboard, working fine so far.

Maybe this one looks better

I don’t know if it’s available for shipping in your region though

Yes I'm using this one too, ordered it two days ago and it's working just fine! I also ordered this along with it so that I could look at it from my phone directly. Which came in pretty handy yesterday that my car was hit on the parking lot. Not a single scratch thankfully, but got everything on cam.

Spacegrey is so nice.

I bought the incase one that Apple sells. I like it because it's slim, but the corners are already broken after ~3 months. At least it's been protecting my computer, though? I'll probably buy a different case next time because I can't afford $50 every few months lol.

I also bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077ZT29P2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but never put it on because I heard it might? crack your screen.

Got one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EZ0X23W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but haven't used it yet.

one of these too https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015Z7XE0A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but haven't used it yet either haha.

And I bought a magsafe adapter but ended up ditching it. It doesn't stay connected and I never tried a different brand because I heard they all suck.

If I were you I would avoid buying any of the items I listed, unless you absolutely need them. I bought a bunch of accessories that I never use. I would buy 1) a nice case and 2) Better Touch Tool.

When I first got my mac I watched a bunch of youtube videos on how to set it up right. Some things I remember:

1. Download Chrome, install Adblock, and maybe Lastpass or one of its competitors.
   
   
2. brb class

I just got this one, seemed low profile, inexpensive enough, and decent reviews. I think I definitely needed the one for sure but only because I play my PlayStation on it.

nonda USB Adapter CAD store, but I believe you can get it in the USA

I don’t recall having damage to the screen back then with the keyboard cover. Just the it was more work than it was worth. If I do do it again I may opt like the other person who said they just use it when the laptop was open.

I’ve always been against hard shell cases for the safety of the hinge. I’m happy with how my 2011 aluminum withstood the test of time. So I likely won’t opt for either when my 2019 gets delivered. I did check out dbrand though out of curiosity. They look pretty cool but personally skins aren’t for me anymore.

I bought this and my 6P charges fine with it from a Ravpower pack. It won't rapid charge though.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B015Z7XE0A/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1462892438

I just got the nonda adapter, and so far, it turns the headset on and WMRPortal detects it. I haven't done any testing to see if it can keep the power delivery up to par yet though, if there are issues I'll report back again. The Nonda adapter is definitely way more compact, just going pin-to-pin for the USB connection. Here's the amazon link to the adapter I'm trying with it now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015Z7XE0A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_I2YWCb54ZYBBE

Best USB-C to USB-A adaptor I've found - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B015Z7XE0A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_tQkgybQYVTBTZ

I have several external drives that require two (adjacent) USB ports to provide sufficient power via its Y cable. Since many new laptops replace some with Type-C ports, I tried a cheap adapter which provided the extra juice. Figured the idea might help others with new laptops.

nondo USB-C Adapter, Amazon pictured, or another brand

I actually think your best bet would be an USB drive. They offer faster speeds at the same (or less) cost. If you think Samsung works best with Samsung products, I recommend you this paired up with this adapter

Why is it better? The SD card gives you 95MB/s (Lots of Android apps can't be sent to your SD Card (without rooting) because they are really slow, imagine that using an OS such as Ubuntu/Debian) and 128GB for $81.38. The USB drive + adapter gives you 128GB, 150MB/s and an adapter for other things other than your drive for $49.94.

If you think losing an USB slot is just too much, you can always buy this hub instead of the adapter. Total: $57.94

This one is $30 but I have had no problems with:

This one I got for $10 and is also great for quick USB port usage, including charging:

I don't know if they'll power your external HDD but they do suffice for charging my S7 Edge so I don't see why they wouldn't charge an iPhone.

This is the best thing I found, only $7 and does the job, happy I got it!

This situation is different for everyone but for me the transition wasn't bad. For the monitor in my room I bought an HDMI to USB C cable so there's no need for an adapter. For the cases where I need an adapter for USB 3 to C, I bought two of these. They also have a bunch of flash drives that have USB C on one end and 3 on the other. If you think you'll need more than this you can just get a hub like this one and keep it in your backpack.

I rarely find myself using these though and the new version of Xcode allows me to upload apps to my phone wirelessly which helps.

No. I use this one?

And also a usb c hub with pass through power so I can charge my tablet over usb c while using usb a devices

I use this one for my MBP.

Couldn't figure this out. I think it is this because USB-C to USB adapters can look like this

What is interesting to me about this, is that to be practical, you have to make your beautiful Macbook (Pro?) look ugly.

This is a great little adapter that matches Mac laptops:

then add a basic mouse:

Replying to you directly in case you've abandoned the thread

Depending the performance you're looking for, what about something like this:

• One of these as the "switch"
  
• One of these as the "output"
  
• One of these for the VGA monitor cable
  
• One of these for the Mac
  
  Basically, using an external USB graphics adapter attached to 2 monitors, then switching the USB adapter between the 2 machines.

I just use this:

>Are the MacBooks not capable of connecting multiple drives at the same time?

Just confirming that is not the problem. Mac laptops are like any other Macs, they will mount as many drives as you need. I routinely work with multiple drives mounted, various combinations of my USB multi-drive enclosure, a USB flash drive, backup drive, network drives, etc.

If they couldn't, we wouldn't be able to back up or migrate one external drive to another.

If the hub can mount either drive alone, but not at the same time, and if they are bus-powered drives (no power adapter), it could be the power capacity issue being discussed in the other reply. In that case your options are:

• Attach a power adapter to at least one drive
  
• Attach a power adapter to the hub, if it has a power port
  
• Plug each drive into different USB ports on the laptop
  
  If you are trying to plug both into the hub because they are USB-A plugs and you need to use the hub as a USB-A to USB-C adapter, that is why I always keep a USB adapter in every bag since they have gotten so damn cheap:

Currently rocking a new refurb 2017 15" 2.8/16/512 and I love it. USB drives - https://www.amazon.com/nonda-Adapter-Aluminum-Indicator-Macbook/dp/B015Z7XE0A/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1518804323&sr=8-4&keywords=usb-c+to+usb
I have a few of these knocking about, problem solved.

Touch Bar - has its uses and I have reprogrammed for my particular uses. It get used EVERY FEW MINUTES.

Keyboard - you will type faster on this after 1 day than any other keyboard.

Don't forget the new massive trackpad. Seems ridiculous at first, then you will wonder how people manage on anything smaller.

I don't want a cable. Cables are messy & cumbersome.

I want a dongle, so I ordered this from Amazon, instead.

It even lights-up to show it's active. But thanks anyway!
