Needlessly provocative title/link bait.
The Chromebooks are not trashed, they are simply re-installed with Linux and have their batteries removed so they can rest in racks for long-term testing.
tl,dr; There aren't enough reliable ARM servers yet, so for developing Linaro (optimized release of gcc), they use Chromebooks.

- mantrax5 12y agoI like how any interesting article I've seen about Chromebooks in the last year or two starts with removing Chrome OS from the machines.
- jamesjguthrie 12y agoAgreed. I use an HP Chromebook 14 with an Ubuntu chroot as my main machine, and I love the Chromebook, but I have no love for Chrome OS. It's just too damn limited to be appreciable.
