I'd buy that if I could put Ubuntu on it. Haven't seen that as of yet.

- recuter 13y agoVery doable: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_C7_Chromebook https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_C7_Chromebook What's even more intriguing is that you can now flush the firmware on the 2012 model and it becomes just a regular PC that you can install windows/osx/linux in the regular way with no faffing about. Hopefully the same will be done for these new models. Arch on an HP Chromebook 14" sounds for $299 sounds awesome to me. http://johnlewis.ie/pre-built-coreboot-firmware-for-chromebooks/ http://johnlewis.ie/pre-built-coreboot-firmware-for-chromebo...
- andrewflnr 13y agoThat does start to sound attractive. I'd rather not have to hack anything just to install an OS, though. It'll probably be bad enough learning UEFI.
- 6ren 13y agoIs there a performance problem with losing proprietary GPU drivers? Keeping them seems one benefit to dual OS (reusing the Chrome kernel). It's nice to be able to watch HD video without hiccups.
