Totally unsolicited, but relevant anecdote. I develop full time on a chromebook running gallium os--although I used Ubuntu for a good 9 months. Only perceivable differences is gallium has way less bloat and support for chrome keyboards. A decent chunk of chromebooks have upgradable ssds. I put a 256 in mine. The big bottleneck is unfortunately non-ugradable ram, though this is increasingly a laptop in general gripe.
