Since I was a bit more on a budget I choose the Lenovo Yoga C630 (touchscreen, 64gb SSD & decent i5 processor). It has enough storage, is the primary target for Crostini and a fast i7 processor. If you have money to spend the Google Pixelbook is the way to go.

Compatibility with Crostini (terminal) since not all chipsets support this.

CPU - Basic Chromebook usage does not require a hefty CPU as development would require.

Storage - Most devices only have 32/64gb SSD internal storage.

The feature to install and use Android Apps.
