I recently picked up one of the new Google Pixelbooks and I will say it a pretty awesome development device. It runs Chrome OS, Android, and Linux all at the same time and has pretty good specs (i5 cpu, 8 gb ram, 128 gb ssd) for running Android Studio. I am able to code and deploy GMMP right on the same device which makes development really convenient when not at home. Android apps also run in their own window which can be resized which makes UI testing on different size screens super easy. Ignore the artifacts around the window containing GMMP. It is a side effect of taking a screenshot i guess (it appears fine on the device) In order to support the free form resizing of the app window, I updated the target SDK level to 27 (android 8.1). GMMP 2.x was still on 21 (android 5.0). The target SDK update should see some performance improvement in newer devices (although i do not know by how much). I also added support for the android permission system they added back in 5.1.
