However, it looks like it has an SD card socket as well as a USB 3.0 slot. That means you could put a 32GB SD card in there and have plenty of room for projects. If that ounce is too important, you could probably get away with an Xubuntu distribution that's fairly stripped down.

That is true: I could just leave a 32GB card in permanently. No reason to remove it.

  And just in case you want to know what SD card you should get: Samsung MB-SSBGA (SDHC 32 GB Class 10) or MB-MSBGA (same thing as microSDHC).

  The only problem is the way the SD card sticks out so far, it's pretty frustrating

    Yeah, this. I've been using the Chromebook as a mobile dev device since the week it came out (lucky enough to get in on the original Play orders) and the primary frustrating thing about this box is that an inserted SD card sticks almost halfway out of the case. I was hoping the device would allow sdcards to be fully inserted as is the norm on most PC laptops, so I could just insert a hefty 32GB card and treat it as almost internal storage. But nope, Samsung can't not take a design idea from Apple, even when it is one of their occasionally bad ones.
