I switched to a Acer Spin after my Pixelbook EOL'd, and have been happy with it. Aluminum chassis, enough ports, nice keyboard, touchscreen 2-in-1, etc. I don't really use the touch features but it doesn't hurt.
ChromeOS has come a long way and the builtin Linux VM makes it surprisingly easy to e.g. do full-stack development with VScode devcontainers.
It feels like a proper OS. I hit the search key and type "code" and it launches my full dev stack. No more mucking about with crouton or dual-booting or other hacks.
