I hope not. I modified a Toshiba CB35 2015 Chromebook to run Linux on it and it's a superb device.
The screen alone rivals $1,000 laptops in terms of quality / real estate but the Chromebook is only $300.
IMO it's the perfect portable developer laptop if you account for specs / price.
- manaskarekar 8y agoCould you elaborate what you did for the linux setup? Was it something different from Crouton/Chrubuntu/Gallium?
- nickjj 8y agoIt is running GalliumOS and I swapped in a bigger SSD. Ended up being $350 total for the Chromebook + SSD modification. I wrote about the entire process 2 years ago at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/transform-a-toshiba-chromebook-cb35-into-a-linux-development-environment-with-galliumos https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/transform-a-toshiba-chromeboo.... I still happily use it today.
