I'm using a Samsung ChromeBook with Crouton - it's Ok. The keyboard is reasonably good. But the touchpad is not even close to that on the old MacBook Pros.

Unless you are really looking for the lowest cost possible, I would suggest that a more mainstream notebook will be give you a better experience.

Well there's the option that i remove my own laptop all-together and buy the ASUS ux305, but my thinkpad works fine. Got a decent system. the charging unit and battery is a little messed up, otherwise perfect system. So, looking for a portable chromebook. Samsung/Dell not available here...
