      I love my ChromeBook, it is my home PC for 90% of my non development tasks. I love it, but it would choke on any flavor of Linux i would want to use. They are really designed for one purpose, and I would suggest against trying to use it for anything else. That being said, good luck.

        @s.hackleman Buying from Walmart. Easy to reset back to ChromeOS and return for a refund.

          You could just keep it a ChromeBook... I feel like I always love the tech, that everyone else hates.

                Samsung has decent stuff, too.

                Unless it's a Cell phone

                      Bosch dishwasher FTW. I'm glad I didn't pay for mine, but damn, is it ever sweet. Quiet, too.

                        I loved my Samsung, until it failed 1 month after the 1 year warrantee. We stopped using it, then realized that hand washing isn't that bad, so we just don't have one anymore.

                          I live alone, and without a dishwasher, I'd never have clean dishes.

                                @scottalanmiller The one I chose has a 16GB SSD. I hope thats enough space.

                                I have elementary installed on mine with a 16 GB SSD. It's taking up about 10 GB. I got you a nice sized USB 3 flash drive for the home directory.
