Fuck chromebooks, I once had to make a jumper out of aluminum foil to replace the bootloader on one (not all are that bad, I know). If the aluminum jumper gets dislodged during the process, you brick the machine. I still recommend chromebooks for people who just need a web-browser and are okay with Google seeing all, but I'm never again buying one for myself without finding model-specific bootloader replacement instructions and making sure that they don't require a McGuyvered jumper cable.
