I've been using Dropbox since it's beta days around 2007 or 2008. I'm still a paying customer, but at this point I'm not exactly sure why.
Back in the day it's sync was far superior than any of their competitor's, but now it's largely a bunch of half baked features and products.
Until they recently made Smart Sync available to non-business customers nothing they had released was of any use to me. Mailbox was okay, but Inbox by Google was far superior. I tried using Paper for ~5 minutes. Once I realized I couldn't import my existing .txt or .md files it was of no use to me.
It would be great if I were able to sync any/all of my got repos, but without a Dropbox version of .gitignore this simply just isn't an option. Who wants to sync the node_modules directory? Not me.
I bought an Acer C720 back in 2012-2013, somewhere around then, and just used it for the first time in years last week while my MacBook was getting repaired.
Still runs great. Only difficult part for me is getting used to the lower build quality (coming from a MacBook).
It's $89 on Newegg, but I'm sure you could find it cheaper elsewhere. I believe I paid $199 brand new.
When it was still being used frequently I was running various different Linux distros (replaced ChromeOS) and everything ran smoothly. This likely won't be necessary anymore given Chromebooks are about to have the ability to run Linux apps on ChromeOS in containers, as well as have a terminal.
