Not to put anyone off of Joey's dell, but this seems like an opportune moment to mention my recent experience with turning a Toshiba Chromebook 2 (the 2015 gandof, rather than the 2014 version) into a "real linux" machine with GalliumOS. I needed to do a BIOS update, but I can dual-boot to ChromeOS if I want (mostly I don't).
It has 16g of SSD, but it has a nicer display (1920x1080) than most Chromebooks (except the Pixel), and 4MB of RAM, which is nicer than many as well. Like most Chromebooks, it has an SD card slot, USB3, HDMI, 802.11ac radio. It is about $300 on Amazon. The case is a little "cheap" feeling, silver plastic, but for $300 it's a decent, light-weight laptop for carrying around. The keyboard (like most Chromebooks) takes a little getting used to, and there is a common screw-loss syndrome you should be aware of. Otherwise, generally pleased. -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
