Hum, sounds like a nice machine, cheap and small, just what I'm looking for. Is it known if ChromeOS can be replaced by a GNU/Linux distro? I know there's crouton, but I'd really rather wipe it clean.
Developer mode is probably available on this machine like it has been on chromebooks, which would allow you to install another os. in my experience, though, it's just a hassle and really not worth putting up with. Maybe theyre more open now, but in the past it was a pain.
