Just to share a different point of view.
I have the c720 with arch installed. There are some problems, mainly the GPU lock https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83677#c102 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83677#c102
The bug is fixed in the 3.19rc kernel.
My main problem was the very bad build quality of the laptop it self. I'm used to mechanical keyboards, I never got used to the c720 one.. The screen is also really bad. Given the price tag it's hard to complain though.
I finally put chromeOS back and gave the laptop to my SO. I got a used x220 in perfect condition for a bit more of the c720 asking price. I replaced the screen with a new IPS bought from ebay.
Best linux laptop I ever had.
- redthrow 12y agoYou won't experience the GPU lock/hang problem if you use any of the distros from Hugh Greenberg in distroshare.com (the same guy who shows up in the bug report thread you linked). I wouldn't say the keyboard/screen of C720 are my favorite but they are decent enough for me, especially for the price.
